RESUMO
Hexane, ethanol and aqueous extracts and fractions from leaves of Pouteria torta (Mart.) Radlk (Sapotaceae), a perennial tree, widespread in the Brazilian Cerrado, were tested for cytotoxicity with the Artemia salina toxicity model. Only the aqueous crude extract and the MeCN:CHCl3 fraction of the ethanol extract presented toxicity (0.28 mg/mL and 0.27mg/mL, respectively). Lupeol acetate was isolated from the hexane extract. It is the first report of lupeol acetate from the genus Pouteria.
