betulinic acid

Betulinic acid (ALS-357) is a pentacyclic lupane-type triterpene derivative of betulin (isolated from the bark of Betula alba, the common white birch) which has antiretroviral, antimalarial, and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as a more recently discovered potential as an anticancer agent, by inhibition of topoisomerase.

Betulinic acid methyl ester showed antiplasmodial activity against chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites in vitro.It also inhibited B16 2F2 cell proliferation by induction of apoptosis.

Betulinic acid palmitate is a natural product for research related to life sciences. The catalog number is TN5987 and the CAS number is 19833-15-9.

Betulinic acid (Mairin; Gratiolone; Platanol) is a useful organic compound for research related to life sciences and the catalog number is T131503.

23-Hydroxybetulinic acid (Anemosapogenin) shows potent anti-tumor effect in vivo, but it has some toxicity, structure modification should be needed.

Epibetulinic acid has anti-inflammatory activity, it exhibits potent inhibitory effects on NO and prostaglandin E(2) production in mouse macrophages (RAW 264.7) stimulated with bacterial endotoxin.

Betulin (betulinol) (lup-20(29)-ene-3β, 28-diol) is an abundant, naturally occurring triterpene. It is commonly isolated from the bark of birch trees where it forms up to 30% of the dry weight of the extractive and is found in birch sap as well.

Taraxeryl acetate shows the significant antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus (type II). It has less effect on cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of AGS cells than taraxerol. A. roxburghiana has antidiabetic activity, could be attributed due to PTP

Longistylin A and longistylin C show some cytotoxic effects, with IC(50) values of 0.7-14.7 microM against the range of cancer cell lines. Longistylin A and longistylin C, and betulinic acid show a moderately high in vitro activity against the chloroquine
