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

Lupeol was used as reference standard in method development and validation of lupeol from Vernonia Cinerea using HPLC method. It has been used as a standard for the identification and quantification of triterpenoids in blueberry cuticular wax by GC.

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

In the Western world, an average of 250 mg per day of triterpenes (member of phytosterol family), largely derived from vegetable oils, cereals, fruits and vegetables is consumed by humans. During the last decade, there has been an unprecedented escalation

The perception of chemoprevention lies still in its infancy. Intervention, to slow down, arrest or reverse the process of carcinogenesis, by the use of either natural or synthetic substances individually or in combination therapy has emerged as a promising and
