[Biological activity and pharmacological prospects of lupane terpenoids: I. Natural lupane derivatives]
Abstract
The biological activity of natural and semisynthetic lupane triterpenoids is discussed in a two-part review. The first part is devoted to the pharmacological properties of natural lupane triterpenoids. Betulinic acid has proven to be the most effective antitumor agent among more than fifty natural lupanes.
