The search in plants for sapogenins has been stimulated by the need for readily accessible sources of sapogenins which can be converted in the laboratory to animal sterols of therapeutic importance. The present study represents a clinical trial for the investigation of the antiinflammatory effect of natural steroidal sapogenins on oral aphthous ulcers.
