β-Boswellic acid
Cat. No.
A37714
CAS
631-69-6
Lipoxygenase Inhibitor
β-Boswellic acid, a potent inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), is derived from the gum resin of Boswellia serrata. This compound exhibits significant anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic properties. Its mechanism involves direct interaction with 5-LO or inhibition of its translocation, leading to reduced synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein in human leukemia HL-60 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.6 to 7.1 μM. β-Boswellic acid holds potential for research into diabetes and inflammatory disorders, particularly those related to arthritis.
