The purified lanostane triterpenoids were first identified as active ingredients of P. cocos with enhanced non-specific immunity by promoting interferon γ (IFN-γ) secretion in a preliminary study. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was evaluated against the THP-1, HEK001, NIH-3T3, and B16-F10 cell lines by the XTT assay.

The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic means. Jaborandi)."—U. Several Pilocarpus species are called jaborandi and used interchangeably in commerce and herbal medicine, including the main Brazilian species of commerce: P. jaborandi, and P. microphyllus, and the Paraguay species P. pennatifolius.

Thirty-eight dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins were isolated from the steam-processed roots of P. notoginseng, including 18 new substances, namely, … Three new natural onoceranoid triterpenes, lansionic acid (1), 3β-hydroxyonocera-8(26),14-dien-21-one (2), and 21α-hydroxyonocera-8(26),14-dien-3-one (3), were isolated from the fruit peel of Lansium domesticum together with two known triterpenoids (4 and 5), and their structures were elucidated from spectral data. Triterpenoids are the main active constituents of ganoderma spores and show various bioactivities for its medicinal use. C
