General description

Lupeol is a novel anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory dietary triterpene. They help in stabilizing phospholipid bilayers in plant cell membranes. In general, this group contains 28-29 carbons along with carbon-carbon double bonds, usually one in the sterol nucleus and at times a second in the alkyl side chain.

Application

It was used as reference standard in method development and validation of lupeol from Vernonia Cinerea using HPLC method.

Drug induced hepatotoxicity is a major problem where phytochemicals hold promise for its abrogation. This study was carried out to explore cytoprotective potential of lupeol, a triterpene, against acetaminophen (AAP)-induced toxicity in rat hepatocytes. AAP exposure significantly (p<0.05) reduced cell

Lupeol, a triterpene, possesses numerous pharmacological activities, including anti-malarial, anti-arthritic and anti-carcinogenic properties. The present study was conducted to explore the hepatoprotective potential of lupeol against acetaminophen (AAP)-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. Rats were given a prophylactic treatment of lupeol
