This article reports a survey of the literature dealing with betulinic acid related biological properties that has appeared from the 1990's to the beginning of 2003. A broad range of medical and pharmaceutical disciplines are covered, including a brief introduction about discovery, phytochemical aspects, organic synthesis, anti-HIV and cytotoxic mechanisms of action. Various structural modifications carried out and their biological and pharmacokinetic profiles are also incorporated UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1r_H_NzhjXV9Mn0ASYy2jLaGDG7kf5XbQ/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
