Uses
Betulinic aldehyde oxime (Compound 31) is a betulin (HY-N0083) derivative that has antimicrobial properties against E. aerogenes, E. coli, E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and C. albicans. Betulinic aldehyde oxime displays cytotoxicity towards hepatocytes, with an IC50 of 25 μM[1].
Biological Activity
Betulinic aldehyde oxime is a pentacyclic triterpenoid and derivative of the cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor betulin .1 It is active against E. aerogenes, E. coli, E. faecalis, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, and C. albicans, as well as L. donovani amastigotes, when used at a concentration of 50 μM.1,2 Betulinic aldehyde oxime (50 μM) is cytotoxic to Huh7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells.2
