The activity of four natural triterpenoids on a 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate multiple-dose model of skin chronic inflammation was studied. Erythrodiol and ursolic acid were significantly effective. The most important features concerning structure-activity relationship and previous data on the effect of these triterpenoids

Pentacyclic triterpenes are minor, but very relevant compounds found in virgin olive oil (VOO). A rapid and reliable LC-MS method for determining the triterpenic acids and dialcohols (after ultrasound assisted extraction) from VOO has been developed, giving an alternative to
Chemical studies of the CH2 Cl2 -MeOH extract of the seeds of Gambeya africana (Baker) Pierre led to the isolation of 15 compounds. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic methods and chemical reactions. They comprised five new

Four new triterpenoids with various skeletons, maytefolins A-C (1-3) and uvaol-3-caffeate (4), were isolated from the leaves of a Brazilian medicinal plant, Maytenus ilicifolia, together with five known triterpenoids. Of these triterpenoids only erythrodiol exhibited significant cytotoxicity against KB/S, KB/VJ300
