Cayman 3-Thio-Pheneacrylic Acid; Purity- Greater Than 98%; Size-

Product Description

β-Boswellic acid is a pentacyclic triterpene originally isolated from Boswellia that has diverse bioactivities. It inhibits 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) with an IC₅₀ value of approximately 5 µM but is less potent than its derivative 3-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (Item No. ). It inhibits cell proliferation in HL-60 cells with IC₅₀ values of 3.7, 7.1, and 6.3 µM for DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, respectively. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) transiently deprived of oxygen and glucose, β-boswellic acid increases nitric oxide and increases phosphorylation of enzyme nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). It also increases calcium mobilization in platelets at concentrations ≥3 µM and induces platelet aggregation (EC₅₀ = 8 µM).
