Abstract
This short review describes the recently reported semi- and total syntheses of naturally occurring triterpenoid saponins. Accent is placed on natural monodesmosidic and bidesmosidic saponins of the oleanane- and lupane-type that possess potent pharmacological properties including cytotoxic and antitumor activities.
