Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid which has anti-retroviral, anti-malarial, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as a more recently discovered potential as an anticancer agent, by inhibition of topoisomerase. It is found in the bark of several species of plants, principally the white birch (Betula pubescens) from which it gets its name.
Betulin also called the birch wood alcohol ester brain, belong to without rings triterpene compounds. Is tasted for white crystal powder, melting point of 248 ~ 251 °C (methanol-chloroform). Soluble in ethanol, ethyl ether, chloroform and benzene, slightly soluble in cold water, and petroleum ether, etc.
