title: Structure-activity relationships of synthetic methyl ursolate glycosides.
abstract: From 15 synthetic methyl ursolate glycosides, the di- and tri-glycosides showed much higher haemolytic activity than the monoglycosides. The beta-gentiobioside and the beta-maltotrioside exhibited much stronger antibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus) or antifungal (Trichophyton mentagrophytes) activity than the other glycosides. However, none of them exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis.
