“…Estudos mostrando a relação estrutura química/atividade biológica de triterpenos encontram-se bem representados na literatura, onde modifi cações estruturais são obtidas objetivando a potencialização da ação farmacológica do triterpeno de partida (Kapoor;Chawla, 1986). A partir da mistura binária α-e β-amirina, isolada em grande quantidade da resina de Protium heptaphyllum (Bandeira, 2002), foi realizado uma série de ensaios biológicos, destacando-se potente atividade antiinfl amatória (Oliveira et al, 2004). Estudos de atividades presentes na literatura do derivado acetato mostram ação antiinfl amatória e antiartrite (Okai;Macrides, 1992), para o derivado cinamato a literatura registra importante atividade antiinfl amatória e analgésica (Miranda et al, 2000).…”
