Obtusifoliol is a triterpenoid alcohol that is a precursor to the biosynthesis of sterols in plants. It is a common component of plant cell membranes. The compound has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Obtusifoliol has been shown to inhibit the growth of various bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. It has also been shown to reduce inflammation in animal models. Obtusifoliol is of interest for its potential use in the development of new drugs for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and infectious diseases.'
