Abstract:
A new oleanane triterpenoid, 2α,3β,6β,23,29-pentahydroxyolean-12-en-28- oic acid (1), was isolated from the roots of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, together with four known oleanane triterpenoids (2-5) and two known ursane triterpenoids (6-7). The structure of compound 1 was determined by extensive NMR and HR-ESI-MS data analysis. Compounds 4-5 showed cytotoxicity against PC12 cell lines at a concentration of 50 μM, and compound 1 exhibited moderate neuroprotective activity against corticosterone induced PC12 cell death at the same concentration.

Properties of the Root Locus
To determine if a point lies on the root locus, the criterion involves the sum of angles contributed by all poles and zeros to that point. Specifically, this sum must be an odd multiple of 180 degrees. The gain at any point on...

Construction of Root Locus
For positive gain values, the root locus exists on the real axis to the left of an odd number of finite open-loop poles or zeros. The root locus starts at the open-loop poles and traces the paths of the closed-loop poles as the gain...
