• Uses: escin is a saponin occurring in the seed of the horse chestnut tree. Escin, a natural mixture of triterpenoid saponins isolated from horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) seeds, is used and studied as a vasoprotective anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and anti-nociceptive agent. It may be used to study its pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy as a chemosensitizer and modulator of NF-κ B cell signaling. membrane permeabilizer
• Therapeutic Function: Antiedemic, Capillary protective
