Pentacyclic triterpenes as bioactive compounds isolated from L. f. acting against the Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a significant concern due to its high prevalence and the limitations of current treatments. In our research, we investigated , a medicinal plant traditionally used for headaches, to identify active compounds with potential anti-Alzheimer's effects. Three pentacyclic triterpenes were isolated through column chromatography and characterised from the dichloromethane/methanol extract from (DCMEMf), with (3)-3-hydroxy-11-oxours-12-en-28-oic acid () showing the highest activity in the HMC3 and SVG p12 cell lines.
