Acesso em: 29 ago. 2017.1874-3900http://www.repositorio.ufop.br/handle/123456789/8636The new pentacyclic triterpenoids friedel-1-en-3,16-dione (1), 1α,29-dihydroxyfriedelan-3-one (2) and 16β,28,29-trihydroxyfriedelan-3-one (3) were isolated from Maytenus robusta branches in addition to the known, but new for this species, triterpenoid 12α,29-dihydroxyfriedelan-3-one (4). The structures and stereochemistry of the novel triterpenoids were established by IR, 1D/2D NMR and HR-APCIMS spectral data. In addition, the biological activity of compound 2 and the previously isolated friedelanes 5–8 (friedelan-3,16-dione, 29-hydroxyfriedelan- 3-one, 29-hydroxyfriedelan-3,16-dione and 16β,29-dihydroxyfriedelan-3-one) was investigated. Compounds 2 and 8 were tested for their acetylcholinesterase properties and antimicrobial activity against the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, Citrobacter freundii, and the fungus Candida albicans. Compound 2 was the most active compound for both assays, with values of 32.3% acetylcholinesterase inhibition, 42% activity against the fungus Candida albicans and 34% against the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Compounds 5–8 were assayed for their antiedematogenic activity using the carrageenan- induced paw edema assay. At maximum inflammation after three hours, compounds 6 and 8 showed 42% and 57% activity, respectively. After four hours, compounds 5 and 7 showed activity of 71% and 75% compared to 79% of the control indomethacin.en-USabertoAnti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities of friedelanes from Maytenus robusta branches and isolation of further triterpenoids.Artigo publicado em periodicoO periódico Phytochemistry Letters concede permissão para depósito deste artigo no Repositório Institucional da UFOP.
