Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:

  • Development and validation of two high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) methods to quantify four biomarkers— β-amyrin, β-sitosterol, lupeol, and ursolic acid in the ethanol extract of G. senegalensis leaves
  • Analysis of methanol extracts of leaf samples collected from five Ficus species by a novel HPTLC densitometric method, for the determination of β-amyrin, validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines
  • Quantification of β-amyrin in the ethanolic extracts collected from two Maytenus species, M. obscura and M. parviflora by a validated HPTLC-densitometric method
  • Secondary metabolite profiling of various plant parts collected from 82 plants belonging to 21 different cannabis strains using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for sterols and terpenoids (mono-, sesqui-, tri-), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV and mass spectrometric (MS) detection for flavonoids

Biochem/physiol Actions

Triterpene that has broad-spectrum analgesic properties for which the underlying mechanism is poorly understood.

General description

β-Amyrin belongs to the group of naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenes, known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-oxidative, and chemoprotective properties.

Polyploid plants are more often invasive species than their diploid counterparts. As the invasiveness of a species is often linked to its production of allelopathic compounds, we hypothesize that differences in invasive ability between cytotypes may be due to their

Plants prevent dehydration by coating their aerial, primary organs with waxes. Wax compositions frequently differ between species, organs, and developmental stages, probably to balance limiting nonstomatal water loss with various other ecophysiological roles of surface waxes.

The pentacyclic triterpenes, in particular ursolic acid and oleanolic acid and their derivatives, exist abundantly in the plant kingdom, where they are well known for their anti-inflammatory, antitumour and antimicrobial properties. α-Amyrin and β-amyrin are the precursors of ursolic and
