High impact information on Aleuritolic acid

A bioactivity-guided fractionation scheme resulted in the isolation of ursolic [IC50=100 micrograms/ml (216 microM)] and oleanolic [IC50=100 micrograms/ml (216 microM)] acids from Tricalysia niamniamensis Hiern (Rubiaceae), which demonstrated similar DNA ligase inhibition profiles to other triterpenes such as aleuritolic acid [1].
In our efforts to find new filaricidal agents against adult male O. gutturosa worms, we have isolated and screened three compounds: polycarpol and polyveoline from Polyalthia suaveolens (Annonaceae) and 3-O-acetyl aleuritolic acid from Discoglypremna caloneura (Euphorbiaceae) [2].
Dose-related DCTN and CTN inhibited in vivo the basal acid secretion in pylorus-ligature rats and oxyntic glands isolated from rabbit gastric mucosa, DCTN, CTN or AAA decreased in vitro uptake basal acid secretion induced by histamine and measured with the 14C-aminopyrine uptake method [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Aleuritolic acid

The terpenoids, DCTN and AAA, and the chloroform extract of 6-month-old plants reduced gastrointestinal transit in mice [3].
