Uvaolis a pentacyclic triterpene compound usually extracted from plant leaves such as Apocynum venetum L., olive leaves (Olea europaea L.), and oregano (Origanum vulgare L.).
Application
Uvaol has been used as retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt) inhibitor to study the role of cardiac glycoside reductase 2 (Cgr2) enzyme on its metabolism.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Uvaolexerts pharmacological properties such as antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and wound healing. It also displays vasodilator, hepatoprotective, and antimicrobial effects. Uvaol has inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) release.

Several compounds isolated from the plant Carpobrotus edulis were evaluated for their activity against multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria and their efflux pump systems. Amongst the compounds isolated, six compounds were tested, namely uvaol, β-amyrin, oleanolic acid, catechin, epicatechin and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. Oleanolic
