NO Production Inhibition of Ursolic Acid Derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural modifications were performed on the C-3 and C-28 positions of ursolic acid and oleanolic acid and the NO production inhibitory activities of the resulting derivatives were evaluated. The SAR revealed that the ursolic acid and oleanolic acid derivatives 3a and 4a, which possessing methoxy group at C-3 position exhibit improved NO production inhibitory activity on LPS-induced RAW247 cells while showing less cytotoxicity than the parent compounds.

Ursolic acid enhances the therapeutic effects of oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer by inhibition of drug resistance
It has been reported that ursolic acid has anti-tumor activity and it enhances the therapeutic effect of oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In the present study, the mechanisms of the enhancement of therapeutic effects through use of ursolic acid were investigated. We treated CRC cell lines HCT8 and SW480 with ursolic acid and oxaliplatin ...

Ursolic acid (UA) is a major pentacyclic triterpenoid in plants, vegetables and fruits, which has been reported to have a potential anti-diabetic activity. Despite various semi-synthetic ursolic acid derivatives already described, new derivatives still need to be designed and synthesized to further improve the anti-diabetic activity. In the present study, two series of novel UA derivatives, wer...

متن کاملSynthesis and in vitro cytotoxicity of novel ursolic acid derivatives.
In an effort to improve potential hepatoprotective and anti-tumor activities, eight novel ursolic acid (UA) derivatives were designed and synthesized with substitution at positions of C-3, C-11 and C-28 of UA. Their structures were confirmed using IR, MS and (1)H-NMR and elemental analysis. Their in vitro cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines (HeLa, SKOV3 and BGC-823) was evaluated by ...
