CAS 472-15-1: Betulinic acid
Description:Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid compound, primarily derived from the bark of the birch tree (Betula species). It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and has a molecular formula of C30H48O3. Betulinic acid is known for its diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects against various types of cancer, as it can induce apoptosis in tumor cells while sparing normal cells. Additionally, betulinic acid exhibits antimicrobial properties and has shown promise in treating conditions such as HIV and other viral infections. Its mechanism of action often involves the modulation of cell signaling pathways and the induction of oxidative stress in cancer cells. Due to its natural origin and bioactivity, betulinic acid is of significant interest in pharmaceutical research and development, although further studies are needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety in clinical applications.
