Description

Betulin is a natural compound found in the bark of the birch tree. It has potent angiogenic properties and induces the growth of new blood vessels. Betulin also has anti-inflammatory activity and has been shown to inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Betulin is a potent inducer of apoptosis in human cancer cells. It also inhibits the mitochondrial membrane potential, which results in cell death. This drug also appears to have an effect on oral pathogens by reducing their virulence and ability to adhere to epithelial cells. In addition, betulin can be used as an analytical reference standard for preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Experimental studies have shown that betulin interacts with drugs that are metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes.
