Pentacyclic triterpenic compounds including asiatic, betulinic, maslinic, oleanolic and ursolic acid occur naturally in many herbs and plant foods. It is well known that these triterpenoids possess anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. Furthermore, recent in vitro and in vivo researches indicated that these compounds could inhibit the production of advanced glycation end-products (AG...

متن کاملBiosynthesis of p-Sitosterol and Pentacyclic Triterpenes of Salvia oficinaZk*
As Heftmann, Bennett, and Bonner have indicated (l), considerable information has accumulated concerning the biosynthesis of sterols in animals (2) and fungi (3), yet practically nothing is known about the biogenesis of typically higher plant sterols or the numerous pentacyclic triterpenes that are widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. As yet, it cannot be assumed that the over-all b...
متن کاملBiologically active pentacyclic triterpenes and their current medicine signification
Pentacyclic triterpenes are produced by arrangement of squalene epoxide. These compounds are extremely common and are found in most plants. There are at least 4000 known triterpenes. Many triterpenes occur freely but others occur as glycosides (saponins) or in special combined forms. Pentacyclic triterpenes have a wide spectrum of biological activities and some of them may be useful in medicine...
