CAS 473-98-3: Betulin
Description:Betulin is a naturally occurring triterpenoid compound primarily extracted from the bark of birch trees, particularly Betula species. It is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and has a molecular formula of C30H50O2. Betulin exhibits a range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Its structure features a pentacyclic triterpene framework, which contributes to its diverse biological effects. Betulin is also known for its potential in promoting skin health and has been studied for its ability to enhance wound healing. Additionally, it can be converted into other derivatives, such as betulinic acid, which further expands its potential therapeutic uses. Due to its natural origin and beneficial properties, betulin is gaining attention in the fields of medicine and cosmetics. However, further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms of action and potential applications in various health-related fields.
