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.
Five constituents including one new pentacyclic triterpenoid guajanoic acid (1) and four known compounds beta-sitosterol (2), uvaol (3), oleanolic acid (4), and ursolic acid (5) have been isolated from the leaves of Psidium guajava. The new constituent 1 has been
