Description

2α,3β-Oleanan-12-ene-diol is a pentacyclic triterpenoid with hydroxyl groups at the 2α and 3β positions on the oleanan-12-ene skeleton. This compound has been isolated from the sap and stem bark of Staudtia kamerunensis Warb. (Myristicaceae) and Terminalia arjuna. It is also reported as a major component in the sap of Staudtia kamerunensis.

It demonstrated significant antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-negative bacterial strains. The lowest MIC value reported was 15.625 μg/mL, and its activity was doubled against Gram-negative bacteria compared to other isolates. It also exhibited cytotoxic effects against human prostate cancer cell lines (DU145, PC3, LNCaP) with CC50 values ranging from 18–22 μg/mL, and a selectivity index greater than 2, indicating potential for selective cytotoxicity.
