Abstract: Oleanolic acid can inhibit edema and exhibit obvious inhibitory activity to inflammatory by activating of the pituitary-adrenal cortical system, inhibiting the synthesis or release of PGs, inhibiting endotoxin-mediated release of HMGB1 by endothelial cells or regulating MAPK, PI3K/Akt/NF- κB/ICAM-1/JAK/STAT signaling pathways, etc. In recent years, an increased number of interesting research work has been carried out on the anti-inflammatory activity and mechanisms of OA derivatives, such as acyloxyimino derivative, 3-acetylated derivatives, novel 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles derivatives, acetate, ester derivatives and oximes derivatives. The review summaries and highlights the updated advances on the anti-inflammatory activity and mechanism of OA and its derivatives.
