Intro of Boswellic acid

β-mastic acid is the main component of frankincense (frankincense). A specific, non-redox 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor used to treat inflammation.

Biological activity
It is isolated from the gum grease of Boswellia serrate. Baisfu Boswellic acid is a non-reducing inhibitor of the formation of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products. which directly interacts with 5-LO or blocks its translocation. This product inhibits DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in human leukemia HL-60 cells.

Target point

5-LO

Chemical property

Soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, from frankincense.

Use

For content determination/identification/pharmacological experiments, etc.

Advantage

Firstly, ‌ mastic acid has remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects ‌. Boswellitic acid inhibits inflammation, reduces tissue damage, and protects cells from oxidative stress ‌. This property makes it an important application in the field of medicine and health products. Especially in the prevention and treatment of diseases related to oxidative stress.

Secondly, ‌ mastic acid has anticancer activity ‌. Studies have shown that boswellitic acid can inhibit the growth and spread of various cancer cells. Especially leukemia cells. Its mechanisms of action include blocking the DNA. RNA and protein synthesis of cancer cells, thereby inhibiting tumor growth ‌. This makes boswellitic acid an important candidate for anticancer research.

In addition, ‌ mastic acid also has the effect of relieving joint pain ‌. It can relieve joint pain and inflammation by inhibiting the activity of 5-lipoxygenase and reducing the production of inflammatory mediators. This property makes it potentially useful in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Finally, ‌ mastic acid is also widely use in beauty and health care products ‌. Due to its natural aromatic taste and antioxidant properties, mastic acid is often used in perfumes. Soaps and skin care products to help soothe the skin, promote wound healing and protect it from environmental pollution ‌.
