HPTLC determination of diosgenin in fenugreek seeds

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of trigonelline, diosgenin and nicotinic acid in dosage forms prepared from fenugreek seed extract

Mathematical algorithms offer a useful method for quantitative analysis of compounds in multi-component mixtures to overcome the overlapping problems occurred in UV spectrophotometry. The aim of this study is to develop a method to determine the bioactive compounds in herbal dosage forms produced from fenugreek extract. A UV- spectrophotometric method based on mathematical algorithm was used to...

In vitro estrogenic activities of fenugreek Trigonella foenum graecum seeds.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Trigonella foenum graecum commonly known as fenugreek, has been widely cultivated in Asia, Africa and Mediterranean countries for the edible and medicinal values of its seeds. Earlier reports show that fenugreek seeds provide a mastogenic effect resulting in enhanced breast size. However, very little is known about its estrogenic effect. The present study investigated th...

Diosgenin, a Steroid Saponin Constituent of Yams and Fenugreek: Emerging Evidence for Applications in Medicine

Phytochemicals found in foods and spices are progressively gaining popularity over conventional synthetic drugs mainly because they act via multiple molecular targets that synergize to efficiently prevent or treat chronic illnesses. Phytochemicals are also safe (with minimal or no toxic or side effects) with better bioavailability. Food saponins have been used in complimentary and traditional m...
