sulfidiioniin
Sulfidiioniin is a naturally occurring organic compound found in certain plants, notably in the species of the genus *Astragalus*. It belongs to a class of compounds known as saponins, which are glycosides characterized by their ability to form lather in water. Specifically, sulfidiioniin is a triterpenoid saponin, meaning its aglycone (the non-sugar part) is derived from a triterpene structure. The structure of sulfidiioniin involves a complex arrangement of sugar molecules attached to the triterpene backbone.
The presence of sulfidiioniin in plants has been associated with various biological activities, although research in
The isolation and identification of sulfidiioniin are typically carried out using chromatographic techniques. Its chemical properties
