Oleanolic acid (OA) was isolated from L. buds, and structurally characterised using different spectroscopic techniques; MS, IR,H/C-NMR and 2D NMR experiments. The antimycobacterial activity according to a resazurin microtiter assay (REMA) showed important inhibitory effect of OA on the virulent HRv strain, with the lowest minimum concentration of 50 µg/mL, compared to other fractions.

It is therefore the recommended first-line treatment modality for large kidney stones.
