β-Amyrin is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid commonly found in plants. It is a member of the oleanane group of secondary metabolites biosynthesized from squalene in the triterpenoid pathway. β-Amyrin inhibits collagen-induced platelet aggregation (IC<sub>50</sub> = 10.5 µM), inhibits acetylcholinesterase (IC<sub>50</sub> = 165 µM), and has antifungal and hepatoprotective effects. Extracts of certain plants, used in herbal medicine to treat inflammation, have been shown to contain β-amyrin, suggesting that this compound contributes to anti-inflammatory actions.
