Abstract
Oleanolic acid (3β-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid) belongs to pentacyclic triterpenoid compounds which are widely found in natural plants. Oleanolic acid and its derivatives possess several promising pharmacological activities. The chemical modifications made in the oleanane backbone mainly at carbons C3, C12 and C28 carboxylic acid, have led to a series of new synthetic oleanane triterpenoids. The Oleanolic acid derivatives at C-3 position exhibited the most potent activity. Here, a review of the advances in research on pharmacological activities and synthesis of Oleanolic acid derivatives at C-3 position are presented.
Keywords: C-3 position, oleanolic acid, oleanolic acid derivatives, pharmacological activities, research, synthesis.

Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
