A pentacyclic triterpenoid with diverse biological activities
3-epi Ursolic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that has been found in M. lingua and has diverse biological activities.1,2,3,4 It inhibits glycogen phosphorylase and cathepsin L but not cathepsin B (IC50s = 19, 6.5, and >250 ?M, respectively).1,2 3-epi Ursolic acid (20-50 ?M) inhibits entry of bovine parainfluenza virus 3 into MDBK cells.3 It also inhibits the proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells (IC50 = 18.6 ?g/ml).4
