Results showed specific enrichment of acidic and neutral triterpenoids in the two respective extracts.

Abstract
Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) Marchand (PH) trees are endemic to the tropical region of South America, mostly Brazil. Antibacterial, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, antidepressant and anti-hyperlipidemic/anti-hypercholesterolemic effects were reported for its resinous exudate Protiumheptaphyllum resin (PHR). This work aims to provide a qualitative and quantitative consistent chemical profiling of the major constituents of this resin and two extracts enriched in acid (acidic triterpene concentrated extract, ATCE) and neutral triterpenes (α and β-amyrin concentrated extract, AMCE). GC-MS/GC-FID was used for volatile terpene fraction, a validated GC-MS method was developed for quantification of neutral α and β-amyrin and HPLC-APCI HRMS2 was used for acidic triterpenes analysis. The chemical investigation reported 29 molecules, including 14 volatile terpenes, 6 neutral triterpenes and 11 acid triterpenes. The most abundant compounds were α-amyrin (251.28 g kg-1, 123.98 g kg-1 and 556.82 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively), β-amyrin (172.66 g kg-1, 95.39 g kg-1 and 385.58 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively), 3-oxo-tirucalla-7,24-dien-21-oic acid (80.64 g kg-1, 157.10 g kg-1 and 15.31 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively) and 3α-hydroxy-tirucalla-8,24-dien-21-oic acid (77.71 g kg-1, 130.40 g kg-1 and 11.64 g kg-1 in PHR, ATCE and AMCE, respectively). Results showed specific enrichment of acidic and neutral triterpenoids in the two respective extracts.
