Abstract
Twelve triterpenes were isolated from the alcoholic extract of Mentha villosa as their acetyl methyl eater derivatives. This vegetal specime n, which was collected in the Horto de Plantas Medicinals da Universid ade Federal do Ceara, Fortaleza, Brazil, is used as popular remedy in the treatment of amebiasis, giardiasis and shisto-somiasis. The separa tion and purification of the triterpenoid derivatives from complex mix tures of closely related isomeric triterpenoid acids has been performe d successfully by reversed-phase HPLC.
