Brazilian researchers isolated triterpenes from Clusia studartiana and evaluated their cytotoxicity in vitro. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Medicinal Plants Research.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that 3-oxo-olean-12-en-28-oic-acid from C. studartiana is an anti-tumor agent that can inhibit the growth of human myeloid leukemia cells and induce apoptosis by activating caspases 3/7.
