Nutraceutical Profile

ImmunCR Id : ICR85
Chemical Name : Betulinic acid
Plant Source : Betulinic acid
Nutraceutical information : ---
Mode of administration : ---
Immunomodulatory mechanism : Anti-tumor (releases Smac, cytochrome c); Anti-inflammatory (inhibits TNF-α, NO, NF-κb, TGF-b1, inos, ERK phosphorylation, Akt phosphorylation, increases IL-10, downregulates ICAM-1, MCP-1, MMP-9, suppresses COX-2, PEG2, ROS); Anti-diabetic (regulates CAMKK-AMPK-CREB signaling pathway, activates AMPK, inhibits CREB (camp response element-binding protein) phosphorylated expression, ICAM, ET-1, downregulates enos (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α)
Description : Betulinic acid, 3-beta-hydroxy-lup20(29)-en-28-oic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid found in the plant kingdom.
