Bacoside A

Bacoside A is a mixture of chemical compounds, known as bacosides, isolated from Bacopa monnieri.[1] Its major constituents include the saponins bacoside A3, bacopaside II, jujubogenin isomer of bacopasaponin C, and bacopasaponin C.[2][3] The mixture has been studied in in vitro experiments and animal models for its potential neuroprotectivity.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
