3-ACETYL-11-KETO-BETA-BOSWELLIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Description

3-acetyl-11-keto-β-Boswellic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene isolated from the gum resin exudate from the stem of the tree B. serrata (frankincense). It selectively inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (IC₅₀ = 1.5 μM) in an enzyme-directed, nonredox, and noncompetitive manner. 3-acetyl-11-keto-β-Boswellic acid and other members of the boswellic acid family have been studied for potential use in the control of inflammatory diseases, including arthritis and cancer.

Uses

3-Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic Acid (AKBA), be used in the place of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. AKBA, also inhibits human gastric carcinoma growth through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. It can be used as an anticancer agent.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid is a triterpenoid.

in vitro

akba exerted a time- and concentration -dependent cytotoxicity on androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. akba blocked proliferation and elicited apoptosis in the chemoresistant and androgen-independent human pc-3 prostate cancer cells by the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c and dna fragmentation. also, akba concentration-dependently inhibited nf-κb signaling, yet it did not directly affect the nf-κb binding to dna. additionally, akba suppressed inhibitor κb kinase and nf-κb-dependent antiapoptotic gene products in pc-3 cells [1].

in vivo

pc-3 xenotransplanted male nmri/nu-nu mice were injected intraperitoneally at 100 μmol/kg daily for three weeks. akba dampened growth and proliferation of pc-3 xenografts in nude mice and elicited apoptosis. moreover, compared with the control group, akba reduced the tumor volume and the invasiveness of the tumor into the surrounding tissues [1].

IC 50

1.5 μm
