Derivatization of ursolic acid, one of the natural ursene-type pentacyclic triterpenes, was investigated by the oxidation with dioxoruthenium(VI) tetraphenylporphyrins. Oxidation selectivity on the terpene structure was modulated by the auxiliaries introduced on the tetraphenylporphyrin. Chemical oxidation of the ursolic acid affected the cytotoxic activity against tumor cell lines.
Ursene-type pentacyclic triterpenes, including the ursolic acid, corosolic acid, and a new ursene-type pentacyclic triterpene, 7,24-dihydroxy ursolic acid, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the leaves of the Bangladeshi medicinal plant, Saurauja roxburghii, a higher plant indigenous to South East Asia and some part of North America. They were tested for the cytotoxicity against C6 rat glioma...
