“…Our previous phytochemical analysis on C. walteri led to the isolation of triterpenoids, including betulinic acid methyl ester, lupenone, lupeol, betulinic acid, methyl 3-O-acetyl betulinate, and sterols such as 6β-hydroxysitostenone, 5α-stigmast-3,6-dione, sitostenone, 3β-sitostanol, and 6α-hydroxy-β-sitostenone [16,17]. Among them, the anticancer effect of betulinic acid on A2780 human ovarian cancer cells and the renoprotective effect of benzyl Plants 2021, 10, 431 2 of 7 salicylate on cisplatin-induced damage in LLC-PK1 kidney proximal tubule cells have been explored and evaluated in our previous studies [16,17]. In the present study, we focused on (-)-leucophyllone, a tirucallane triterpenoid isolated from the further phytochemical investigation of the MeOH extract from C. walteri.…”
