Cardioprotective potential of a lanosteryl triterpene from Protorhus longifolia

The current rapid increase in the incidence of cardiovascular events indicates a need for the discovery of more effective cardioprotective agents.This study evaluated the cardioprotective potential of a lanosteryl triterpene from Protorhus longifolia (Benrh.) Engl. stem bark.Spectroscopic data analysis was used to confirm the structure of methyl-3β-hydroxylanosta-9, 24-dien-21-oate (RA-3). The cardioprotective effect of RA-3 in...
