Hepatoprotective Activity of Betulin and Dipterocarpol Derivatives

详细

The regioselective synthesis of betulin 3,28-bis- and 28-monoacylates (nicotinate and isonicotinates) as well as of 3β-hemisuccinyl dipterocarpol was carried out using the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide method. The morphological and biochemical blood tests on a model of CCl₄-induced rat hepatitis showed that the activities of the betulin bisacylates 3β,28-bis-О-nicotinate and 3β,28-bis-О-isonicotinate were higher than that of monoacylate 28-О-isonicotinate. 3β-Hydroxydipterocarpol was found to be the most active among triterpenoids of the dammarane type.
