a-boswellic acid

Acetyl 11α-methoxy-β-boswellic Acid is a triterpenoid extracted from frankincense resin.

3-O-Acetyl-11-hydroxy-beta-boswellic acid is the precursor of 3-O-acetyl-9, 11-dehydro-beta-boswellic acid(a 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor ).

3-O-Acetyl-α-boswellic acid (α-Boswellic acid acetate) has strong anti-inflammatory activity.

alpha-Boswellic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid obtained from Boswellia serrata with anticonvulsant and anticancer properties. In animals, it is a preventive and minimizing Alzheimer's disease marker and can be used in Alzheimer's disease research.

3-Acetyl-beta-boswellic acid has antitumor activity, it inhibits synthesis of DNA, RNA and protein in human leukemia HL-60 cells in a dose dependent manner with IC50 values ranging from 0.6 to 7.1 microM.

9,11-Dehydro-β-boswellic acid is a compound with urease inhibitory activity and acts as an inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), a critical enzyme in leukotriene biosynthesis.

11-Keto-beta-boswellic acid, a novel Nrf2 activator, and a selective 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor; it exerts dose dependent cardioprotective effect manifested by dose-dependent reduction in serum lactate dehydrogenase

β-Boswellic acid (Beta-boswellic acid) and its derivatives (the major constituents of Boswellin) have anti-carcinogenic, anti-tumor, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities.

AKBA (3-O-Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), a natural component from frankincense, is a novel activator of Nrf2.
