| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Betulinic acid, a pentacyclic triterpene, selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells by directly activating the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis through a p53- and CD95-independent mechanism. |
| General description: | Betulinic acid is a lupane-type triterpene, which can be prepared from betulin via oxidation using chromium oxide (VI). Along with anti-HIV-1 and anti-tumor activity, it also shows other bioactivities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, in vitro antimalarial, anthelmintic and antioxidant activities. |
