Antimutagenic action of the triterpene betulinic acid isolated from Scoparia dulcis (Scrophulariaceae)

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The mutagenic and antimutagenic activities of triterpene betulinic acid {3b-3-hydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-28-oic} isolated from the roots of Scoparia dulcis (Scrophulariaceae) were analyzed using the somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) in the wings of Drosophila melanogaster. The mutagenic potential of betulinic acid was evaluated at 3 different concentrations (1.64, 3.28, and 6.57 mM). Antimutagenic activity evaluation was performed by co-treatment trials in which the flies received betulinic … Show more

“…Indeed, the parent triterpenoid ursolic acid decreased H 2 O 2 ‐induced DNA damage in the colonic cell line Caco‐2 by a similar extent (>40%) to that of TRF and CDDO, albeit at 50‐fold higher concentration of 5 μM . Triterpenoids from R. rosifolius fruits have previously been shown to have beneficial effects against human colon cancer cells and triterpenoids from Scoparia dulcis roots exerted antimutagenic activity using the in vivo SMART assay . To our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate DNA damage reduction and the modulation of Nrf2/ARE pathway by triterpenoids (both CDDO and TRF) in the normal cell line CCD841‐CoN.…”
