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.
1. Incensole has a protective or stimulating effect on β-cells of the rat pancreas, it also can increase the insulin secretion, which evidenced by a significant increase both in body weight and in liver glycogen.
β-Boswellic acid (Beta-boswellic acid) and its derivatives (the major constituents of Boswellin) have anti-carcinogenic, anti-tumor, and anti-hyperlipidemic activities.
Alpha-Boswellic acid (α-Boswellic acid) is a pentacyclic triterpenoid natural product extracted from frankincense, exhibiting anticonvulsant and anticancer effects, and in animals, it prevents and reduces Alzheimer's disease markers, making it valuable for Alzheimer's disease research.
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
Desaminotyrosine (3-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid) is a microbially associated metabolite. Desaminotyrosine protects from influenza through augmentation of type I interferon signaling.
