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.
Uvaol is a natural pentacyclic triterpene that is widely found in olives and virgin olive oil, exerting various pharmacological properties. However, information remains limited about how it affects fibroblasts and endothelial cells in events associated with wound healing. Here, we

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

To investigate the chemical constituents of Pyrola calliatha. The chemical constituents were isolated by various column chromatographic methods. The structures were identified by spectral data. Ten compounds were isolated and identified as chimaphilin (1), uvaol(2), ursolic acid (3), 2beta,3beta,23-trihydroxy-12-ene-28-ursolic acid
Apocynum venetum leaves are used as a kind of phytomedicine and the main ingredient in some traditional Chinese medicine products for the relief of colitis. To understand the bioactive constituents of A. venetum L., we did a phytochemistry study and
