Early goldenrod herb contains minimum 2.4% flavonoids, including quercitrin and rutin; 9.2% triterpene saponins, mainly bayogenin glycosides; phenolic acids, including chlorogenic, hydroxycinnamic, and caffeic acids and their glucose esters; tannins; polysaccharides; diterpenes; and a small amount of essential oil.
The Commission E reported diuretic, mildly antispasmodic, and antiphlogistic activity.
The British Herbal Pharmacopoeia reported diuretic, anticatarrhal, and diaphoretic actions (BHP, 1996). In vitro studies have shown a spermicidal effect on human sperm, possibly a result of the saponins of the b-amyrin type having a particular sequence of sugars at the 28-carboxyl function. Fungicidic activity on Candida albicans has been shown using the triterpenoid glycosides.
