Abstract

Bioassay-directed fractionation of a n-hexane extract of Couepia polyandra using an assay to detect inhibitors of the lyase activity of DNA polymerase β resulted in the isolation of the new triterpene 3β,16β ,23-triacetoxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (1) and four known compounds, oleanolic acid, betulinic acid, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol. The structure of the new compound was established on the basis of extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic interpretation. All five compounds inhibited DNA polymerase β lyase activity.
