About Betulinic Acid
Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid which has anti-retroviral, anti-malarial, and anti-inflammatory
properties, as well as a more recently discovered potential as an anticancer agent, by inhibition of topoisomerase. It is found in the bark of several species of plants, principally the white birch (Betula pubescens) from which it gets its name.It is manufactured from raw matertial betulin by chemical synthesis. Betulinic acid has the anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, anti-tumor,cholagogic function and liver protective effect.It can also promote human body metabolism. As a kind of biologics, betulinic acid has the curative effect in anti-HIV, cancer and human melanoma cell without killing healthy cells. According to the recent research, it has the inhibiting effect on cerebroma,neuroectodermal.
