What is Betulinic acid ?

Description

Betulinic acid (472-15-1) is a natural Lupane triterpenoid from white birch tree (Betula pubescens). Induces apoptosis in a variety of cell lines.1 Induces mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening.2 ?Acts as a chemosensitizer for anticancer drug treatment in chemoresistant colon cancer cell lines.3 Cell permeable.

Description

Betulinic acid is a naturally-occurring triterpene found in the bark of the white birch tree. Research has found betulinic acid to be particularly useful against melanoma, a dangerous form of skin cancer, by targeting tumors without destroying healthy cells.

The Uses of Betulinic acid

Betulinic Acid is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid. Betulinic Acid displays anti-inflammatory and anti-HIV activity. Betulinic Acid selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells by directly activati ng the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis through a p53- and CD95-independent mechanism. Betulinic Acid also exhibits TGR5 agonist activity

Background

Betulinic Acid has been used in trials studying the treatment of Dysplastic Nevus Syndrome.
