β-Amyrone（Cat No.:R017518）is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid commonly found in various plant species. Derived from the more widely recognized triterpene β-amyrin through oxidative processes, it possesses a characteristic oleanane-type skeleton. This compound is often isolated from the surface waxes and resins of leaves, bark, or fruits. Preliminary research suggests that β-amyrone may exhibit potential pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Its presence can serve as a chemical marker in chemotaxonomic studies, helping to differentiate and classify related plant species. Its potential medicinal applications remain areas of ongoing research.
