(+)-Erythrodiol
Erythrodiol is a pentacyclic triterpenoid that is beta-amyrin in which one of the hydrogens of the methyl group at position 28 has been replaced by a hydroxy group. It is a plant metabolite found in olive oil as well as in Rhododendron ferrugineum and other Rhododendron species. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a primary alcohol, a diol, a pentacyclic triterpenoid and a secondary alcohol. It is functionally related to a beta-amyrin. — ChEBI
