General description

Pomolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene, is a bioactive natural compound commonly derived from plants such as Euscaphis japonica, Centella asiatica, Picramnia sellowii, and Cecropia pachystachya. Current research suggests that this metabolite acts as an inhibitor and may exhibit diverse biological activities, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, apoptotic, and antihypertensive properties.
Natural product derived from plant source.

Application

Pomolic acid is a natural product derived from plant source that finds application in compound screening libraries, metabolomics, phytochemical, and pharmaceutical research.

The dichloromethane extract and pomolic acid ( 5) obtained from leaves of Cecropia pachystachya both reduced carrageenan-induced paw oedema in mice. Interestingly, while the triterpenoid inhibited the in vivo production of interleukin-1beta by 39 %, it had no effect on
