Machaeric acid is a triterpenoid and triterpene sapogenin, which serves as the aglycone of Senegaloside A; it can be isolated from the seeds of Caragana microphylla Lam. and Acacia senegal(Mimosaceae). Machaeric acid exhibits remarkable biosafety, and even at concentrations as high as 200 μM, it does not induce cytotoxicity or reduce the viability of H4IIE rat hepatoma cells.
