Serjania salzmanniana

The isolation of antifungal and antimolluscicidal saponins from Serjania salzmanniana also involved the use of a silica column, but it then followed this with separation by countercurrent chromatography (Scheme 3). An interesting feature of the final preparative TLC stage was the use of water as a nondestructive visualization stain. As these compounds are so hydrophobic, this region of the plate remained white (dry), and the remainder of the plate turned dark (wet) (S).
