Ursolic acid: an overview including research performed in Peru

View through CrossRef
  Ursolic acid (3β-3-hydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic-acid) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound present in many medicinal herbs and edible fruits of different species of plants. Ursolic acid is now considered an important biomolecule due to its pharmacological activity and much of the research has focused on anticancer activity. To achieve the clinical application of ursolic acid, delivery nanosystems have been developed and the synthesis of its derivatives has also been carried out. In this review, we address different aspects of the chemistry of ursolic acid. Furthermore, we highlight the investigations that were carried out in Peru concerning ursolic acid.   Palavras-chave: Ursolic acid, Triterpenoid, Lamiaceae, Medicinal plants.   Abstract El ácido ursólico (ácido 3β-hidroxi-urs-12-en-28-óico) es un triterpenoide pentacíclico presente en varias hierbas medicinales y frutos comestibles de diferentes especies de plantas, es considerado una importante biomolécula debido a su actividad farmacológica y gran parte de las investigaciones se han enfocado en su actividad anticancerígena.
