Prevention by polyhydroxysteroids and saponins of Asterina pectinifera of the desquamation of stratum corneum cells.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Two polyhydroxysteroids and three steroidal saponins (pectiniosides A, B and C) were isolated as bioactive substances from Asterina pectinifera. These compounds inhibited the release of guinea-pig skin stratum corneum cells by 48-67% (control, 0%) at 2 mg/ml. It is suggested that the bioactivity of these compounds is connected with the remedial and preventive effects of an aqueous extract of A. pectinifera on rough human skin.
