Abstract:
... Barrigenol-like triterpenoids (BATs) showed promising anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-Alzheimer's activities, while, the inhibitory strength was usually affected by their states with aglycones or glycosides. In order to find more BATs as new anti-tumor agents with much more efficiency, the chemical and pharmaceutical studies were carried out on the acid hydrolysate product (AHP) of Semen Ae ...
