Ursonic acid (UNA) is a phytochemical which can be also extracted from a great variety of traditional medicinal herbs. It can be used as a cosmetics additive and serve as a starting material for synthesis of more potent bioactive derivatives, such as experimental antitumor agents. Ursonic acid induces the apoptosis of human cancer cells through multiple signaling pathways.
Definition
ChEBI: Ursonic acid is a triterpenoid. It is a natural product found in Bursera linanoe, Lantana camara, and other organisms with data available.
Biological Activity
Ursonic acid is a natural triterpene acid that can induce apoptosis in human cancer cells through various signaling pathways.
Synthesis
3-oxo-12-en-28-ursolic acid (2) was obtained after compound 1 was refluxed in acetone under the action of Jones reagent for 5 hours, and then a series of anti-tumor Active novel quinoline oxadiazole derivatives.
