Research & Evidence
Calenduloside E 6’-methyl ester is an oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin reported from suma (Pfaffia paniculata) root (PMID 19941264). It sits alongside the pfaffic-acid glycosides in the root’s saponin fraction. No quantitative content figure has been located and the compound has essentially no isolated pharmacology of its own.
Toxicity & Safety
No isolated-compound toxicity data were located. Saponins as a class are locally irritant and haemolytic in vitro at high concentration; that class-level caveat is all that can honestly be said here.
