Triterpenoids are a class of chemical compounds derived from triterpene, which consists of 30 carbon atoms arranged in various structural forms. They are primarily found in plants and are known for their diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Triterpenoids can also play a role in plant defense mechanisms and are often studied for their potential therapeutic applications in medicine. Common examples include betulinic acid and ursolic acid.

Beta amyrine and alpha amyrine both are pentacyclic triterpenoids with betahydroxy group at position number 3 but beta amyrine is derived from oleanane skeleton and alpha amyrine is derived from ursane skeleton
Mitragyna stiplosa tree used for?
Indigenous to West Africa, a Mitragyna species with Uncaria-like alkaloids (Rhynchophylline) reportedly used traditionally in the treatment of Malaria. Phytochemical investigations on the non-alkaloid extracts of Mitragyna Stipulosa bark have led to the isolation of a series of triterpenoids mainly consisting of quinovic acid and its glycoside derivatives.Many people mistake this for Mitragyna speciosa which is Malaysian leaf also referred to as Kratom.

What are the chemical content found in lansium domesticum seeds?
== == == == == == An arrow poison has been made from the fruit peel and the bark of the tree. Both possess a toxic property, lansium acid, which, on injection, arrests heartbeat in frogs. The peel is reportedly high in tannin. The seed contains a minute amount of an unnamed alkaloid, 1% of an alcohol-soluble resin, and 2 bitter, toxic principles. Phytochemistry. 2006 Oct;67(20):2288-93. Epub 2006 Aug 23. Antimalarial tetranortriterpenoids from the seeds of Lansium domesticum Corr. Saewan N, Sutherland JD, Chantrapromma K. School of Science, Walailak University, Thasala, Nakhon Si Thammarat 80160, Thailand. nisakorn@mfu.ac.th Five tetranortriterpenoids, domesticulide A-E (1-5), were isolated from seeds of Lansium domesticum Corr. together with 11 known triterpenoids (6-16). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of their spectroscopic data. Compounds 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 15 showed antimalarial activity against Plasmodium falciparum with IC(50)'s of 2.4-9.7 microg/ml. PMID: 16930641 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

Isolated chemical compound of adansonia digitata?
Besides (-)-epicatechin, epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin (procyanidin B2), epicatechin-(4β-6)-epicatechin (procyanidin B5), epicatechin-(4β-8, 2β-O-7)-epicatechin (proanthocyanidin A2) and epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin (procyanidin C1), which were isolated before from Adansonia digitata [1], in this work an A-type proanthocyanidin trimer, i.e. epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin-(4β-8, 2β-O-7)-epicatechin, tetrameric procyanidin D1, i.e. epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin-(4β-8)-epicatechin and a polymeric compound were isolated from the pericarp (fruit wall) of the fruits for the first time from this plant [2]. The antioxidant activity of different fractions and pure compounds was experimentally evaluated in the DPPH· assay. The ethyl acetate fraction, and most of the isolated compounds displayed a high activity (IC50 2.40-9.60µg/ml) compared with the reference antioxidant [3] Trolox (IC50 12.18µg/ml) as a standard.Acknowledgements: University of Antwerp Belgium, Prof. Dr. Pieters L. and Prof. Dr. Apers S. for NMR and MS spectra measurements.References: 1.
