Betulinic acid


Product Description

What is Betulinic Acid?


Betulinic Acid(BA) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound, which is widely found in the natural world, and is mainly extracted from the bark of betula alba. By modifying the chemical structure of BA, a variety of derivatives can be obtained. Studies have shown that betulinic acid has many biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-malaria, etc. In addition, BA also has a strong toxic effect on a variety of tumors, but has no lethal effect on normal cells, which is a very valuable natural product. BA and its derivatives have shown great potential as biologics in anti-cancer and HIV treatment, and are of great value for the research and development of new drugs.

Functions 

Anti-inflammatory effect: Because betulinic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound, it has anti-inflammatory activity. Betulinic acid has mild anti-inflammatory properties at higher concentrations, which have been verified in vivo and in vitro models. It can inhibit PGE2 production and reduce inflammation.

Antioxidant mechanism of betulinic acid

Antitumor effect: Betulinic acid, as an anticancer drug, has lower toxicity and higher tumor inhibitory activity. It was first found to have selective cytotoxicity to melanoma cells, and in recent years, it has also been found to have strong broad-spectrum activity on a variety of tumor cells. Its anti-tumor mechanism mainly includes blocking the cell cycle of tumor cells, inducing apoptosis and autophagy of tumor cells, and improving the immune function of the body.

Antiviral effect: Antiviral effect has a more prominent antiviral activity, especially anti-HIV activity, and it has an effective effect on anti-other viruses such as hepatitis C virus, spora simplex virus, Iko virus, influenza virus and so on.

Antioxidant stress activity: BA has a protective effect on normal cells and the body, which has a certain relationship with antioxidant stress. For example, betulinic acid has a protective effect on ischemia-reperfusion injury of brain, kidney and heart.

Application Fields

Betulinic acid is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid compound with various biological activities and pharmacological effects, which has a wide application prospect in medicine, health care products and other fields.
