Description

Triptotriterpenic acid A (TTA) is a monocarboxylic acid that regulates the reproductive system. It has been shown to have a regulatory effect on the reproductive system in rats by inhibiting ovulation and, consequently, fertility. TTA also inhibits bacterial growth and has antibacterial properties. The extract of TTA has been shown to have a regulatory effect on the reproductive system in mice by regulating hormone levels. Triptotriterpenic acid A is found in Tripterygium hypoglaucum, a Chinese herb that has long been used as an antifertility agent in traditional Chinese medicine. Maytenus is another plant genus that contains tripterygium and wilforlide, which are both active constituents of TTA.
