Abstract
The aerial parts of Maytenus undata yielded four new 12-oleanene and 3,4-seco-12-oleanene triterpene acids, namely, 3-oxo-11alpha-methoxyolean-12-ene-30-oic acid (1), 3-oxo-11alpha-hydroxyolean-12-ene-30-oic acid (2), 3-oxo-olean-9(11), 12-diene-30-oic acid (3), and 3,4-seco-olean-4(23),12-diene-3, 29-dioic acid (20-epi-koetjapic acid) (5), together with the known 3, 11-dioxoolean-12-ene-30-oic acid (3-oxo-18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid) (4), koetjapic acid (6), and the 12-oleanene artifact 3-oxo-11alpha-ethoxyolean-12-ene-30-oic acid (7). Koetjapic acid (6) inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with an MIC range of 3.125-6.25 microg/mL. The new 3,4-secotriterpene acid 20-epi-koetjapic acid (5) potently inhibited rat neonatal brain microglia phorbol ester-stimulated thromboxane B(2) (IC(50) = 0.5 microM) and superoxide anion (IC(50) = 1.9 microM) generation.Entities:
