Chemopreventive properties of phytosterols and maslinic acid extracted from coleus tuberosus in inhibiting the expression of EBV early-antigen in raji cells
Bioassay-guided fractionation of a MeOH extract of tubers of Coleus tuberosus afforded the active anti-tumor-promoting compounds identified as the triterpenoid 2 alpha,3 beta-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (maslinic acid; CT2) and a phytosterol mixture (CT1). CT1 consists of stigmasterol (32%), be...
