| Potency | In an in vitro biological screening of the isolated compounds, 3beta-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene-27,28-dioic acid was cytotoxic against the SKBR-3 human adenocarcinoma cell line (1 to 10 mg/mL), while 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene-27,28-dioic acid exhibited cytotoxicity against both SKBR-3 human adenocarcinoma and C-8161 human melanoma tumor cell lines (>0.1 mg/mL). | |
| Cell line/ mice model | SKBR-3, C-8161 | |
| Additional information | A. amazonicus extracts contain potential compounds for use as chemoprophylactic agents against T. cruzi. The results obtained showed that A. amazonicus is a potential source of bioactive compounds since its extracts and fractions isolated from it exhibited in vitro parasite lysis against trypomastigote forms of T. cruzi at concentrations >100 microg/mL. Fractions containing mainly betulin, lupenone, 3beta-hydroxylup-20(29)-ene-27,28-dioic acid, and 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene-27,28-dioic acid showed more activity than crude extracts. | |
