Histopathological effects of Pedunsaponin A on Pomacea canaliculata.[Pubmed: 29891366]
Pedunsaponin A, a novel molluscicidal compound isolated from Pueraria peduncularis, exhibits strong toxicity against Pomacea canaliculata. To determine the mechanisms of Pedunsaponin A toxicity, its effects on the organs and hemocytes of P. canaliculata were examined in this study. The results showed that Pedunsaponin A had significant toxic effects on different organs of the snail, including the lungs, gills, mantle, siphon tube, ventricle, pericardial cavity, hepatopancreas, kidneys, and the major symptom of this toxicity was the loss of cilia in the lungs and gills. Additionally, in further studies on the effects of Pedunsaponin A treatment, we found that the hemocyte count was changed and hemocyte morphology was damaged, which was primarily reflected by cytoplasm leakage, nuclei deformation, and significant reductions in the number of ribosomes and granulocyte mitochondria. Based on these results and considering that blood vessels are distributed in the lungs and gills, we hypothesized that Pedunsaponin A would first destroy the cilia, which disrupt physiological activities such as respiration, excretion and feeding, and then enter the hemolymph through blood vessels, disrupt the normal function of the hemocytes and destroy the snail immune system, eventually resulting in the death of the snail.
Active saponins from root of Pueraria peduncularis (Grah. ex Benth.) Benth. and their molluscicidal effects on Pomacea canaliculata.[Pubmed: 27608163]
Pueraria peduncularis (Grah. ex Benth.) Benth., which belongs to the Leguminosae family, exhibits resistance to many crop pests in agricultural production. Pomacea canaliculata is an important invasive snail in rice fields and causes severe yield losses. To evaluate the toxicity of P. peduncularis to P. canaliculata, in this study the molluscicidal activity of root extracts of P. peduncularis was tested against P. canaliculata; the active compounds were isolated, and the structures of these compounds were analysed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis and mass spectral analysis.
New oleanene-type triterpene saponins from Pueraria peduncularis.[Pubmed: 12450252]
Two new oleanane-type triterpene saponins named pedunsaponins B (2) and C (3) were isolated from the roots of Pueraria peduncularis. Their structures were determined to be 3-O-(6-O-methyl)-beta-glucuronopyranosyl-3beta,15alpha-dihydroxyolean-12-en-16-one (2), and 3-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-beta-glucuronopyranosyl-3beta,15alpha-dihydroxyoleana-12-en-16-one (3), on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.
