  Biological Activities of Novel Oleanolic Acid Derivatives Produced through Bioconversion and Semi-Synthesis
  Author(s): Anurag Lyu*
  
  Oleanolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, has gained significant attention in recent years due to its wide array of biological activities and therapeutic potential. Naturally occurring in various plant species, oleanolic acid is known for its anti-inflammatory, anticancer, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and antiviral properties, making it a promising candidate for drug development. However, its relatively low bioavailability and the complexity of its chemical structure pose challenges for its widespread therapeutic use. To overcome these limitations, researchers have focused on developing novel derivatives of oleanolic acid through bioconversion and semi-synthesis techniques. These derivatives not only enhance the biological activities of the parent compound but also offer improved pharmacokinetic profiles, making them more suitable for clinical applications.
