Maslinic acid (2α,3β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid), a natural dihydroxylated pentacyclic triterpene acid isolated from olive-pressing residues, has been investigated together with some of its derivatives regarding the induction of apoptosis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Some of the compounds tested are described in this work, but others come from previous studies. Ten of these derivatives induce over 80% of apoptosis, clearly promoting cell death in B16F10 melanoma. By contrast, the induction cell death through necrosis was very slightly significant with these compounds. These results indicate that maslinic acid derivatives are promising chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents.

Hydrogen peroxide-selenium dioxide in t-butanol has been found to be a good reagent for the preparation of 11α,12α-oxidotriterpenoids of oleanane and ursane skeletons; whereas α-amyrin and β-amyrin acetates furnished 11α,12α-epoxyurs-14-en-3β-yl acetate (4c) and 11α,12α-epoxytaraxer-14-en-3β-yl acetate (4a) respectively, uvaol and ursolic acid/methyl ester gave 11α,12α-epoxyurs-28->13-olide-3β-ol (5d); erythrodiol (3c) and oleanolic acid (3b)/methyl ester (3d) afforded 11α,12α-epoxy-oleanan-28->13-olide-3β-ol (5); olean-12-en-2α,3β,28-yl triacetate (3j) on similar reaction furnished 11α,12α-epoxytaraxer-14-en-3β-ol-2α,28-yl diacetate (4d) and 11α,12α-epoxytaraxer-14-en-2α,3β-diol-28-ylacetate (4e).
