UVA URSI, Bearberry Leaf, Uvae ursi folium, Arctostaphylos uva ursi (L.) Spreng, family Ericaceae. The dried leaves constitute the drug. Besides arbutin (not less than 8%) and methylarbutin, the leaves also contain tannins. 1.5-4.0g dried leaves given by infusion three times daily gives an antiseptic effect (by hydrolysis to hydroquinone) in the urinary tract, when the urine is kept alkaline. The maximal antibacterial effect is reached about 3 hours after administration. [Pg.87]

Cleavage to hydroquinone and glucose occurs on reaction with emulsin or dilute acid. The black color of many dead plants can be explained by oxidation of the hydroquinone. A. occurs in pear leaves Pyms communis, Rosaceae) and is widely distributed in leaves of Ericacae, e. g., in bearberry species (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), as well as in cranberries, heather, and azalea.

More than 150 ursanes of plant origin are documented (+)-3p-Hydroxyursan-28-oic acid, for example, represents a saturated triterpene found in the leaves of oleander Nerium oleander (Apocynaceae). (-l-)-3p-Hydroxy-12-ursen-28-oic acid is the most prominent derivative this was first isolated from the leaves and berries of bearberry Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, and therefore is commonly known as ursolic acid. It is also found in Rhododendron species, in cranberries Vaccinum macrocar-pon (Ericaceae), and in the protective wax coating of apples, pears, prunes, and other fruits. Ursolic acid is reported to have antileukemic and cytotoxic activities it is also used as an emulsifier in pharmaceuticals and foods, and is similar to (-1-)-3p,19a-dihydroxy-12-ursen-28-oic acid (known as pomolic acid) extracted from the wax coats of apples.
