General description

Betulin, a triterpene with lupane nucleus, is found in the bark of birch trees. It undergoes rearrangement in the presence of acid agents to form allobetulin.

Application

Betulin may be used in the preparation of betulinic acid, which shows anti-HIV, antimalarial and anti-inflammatory activities.

A novel approach to circumvent multidrug resistance is hybridization of natural products in dimers. We analyzed homodimers of two artesunic acid molecules and heterohybrids of artesunic acid and betulin in human CCRF-CEM and multidrug-resistant P-glycoprotein-overexpressing CEM/ADR5000 leukemia cells.

The aim of this work was to synthesize a set of heterocyclic derivatives of lupane, lup-20(29)-ene, and 18α-oleanane, and to investigate their cytotoxic activities. Some of those heterocycles were previously known in the oleanane (allobetulin) group; however, to our knowledge
