beta-Amyrin acetate
Beta-amyrin acetate, also known as B-amyrin acetic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Beta-amyrin acetate is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Beta-amyrin acetate can be found in burdock and guava, which makes beta-amyrin acetate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. β-Amyrin acetate is a triterpenoid with potent anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anti-diabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic activities. β-Amyrin acetate can inhibit HMG-CoA reductase activity by locating in the hydrophobic binding cleft of HMG CoA reductase[1][2][3][4].
