Overview

Ursolic acid belongs to the class of triterpenoid compounds that occurs widely in medicinal herbs, food and other plants. It may possess pharmacological properties like hepta-protection, analgesic, cardiotonic, sedative and tonic effects.
An anti-angiogenic and anti-proliferative agent

Application：

Ursolic acid can be used as a starting material for the reaction with ethyl chloroacetate to synthesize ursolic acid ethoxycarbonylmethyl ester (ECU). ECU serves as a key intermediate in the total synthesis of the important biological compound 3-acetyl-2-[(un)substituted phenyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3,4-oxadiazole-5-methyl ester, 3-O-acetylursolic acid. Ursolic acid can also be used to prepare novel heterocyclic derivatives for various activity studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions：

Triterpenoids, found in various fruits such as apples, are cardioprotective and anti-tumor agents. They are being studied as potential Alzheimer's disease therapeutics due to their ability to inhibit the interaction between amyloid beta and the CD36 receptor.
