Immunomodulatory mechanism : | Apoptosis (Releases cytochrome C, activates caspase-3, ROS, CHOP, JNK inactivates P13K/Akt, downregulates Bcl2, EGFR/MAPK pathway); Anti-metastasis (downregulates IL-1β, TNF-α, MMP-2, u-PA, inactivates NF-kβ, upregulates Iκβα inhibitors, suppresses CXCR4/CXCL12 receptor 4); Anti-angiogensis (suppresses VEGF, inos, HIF-1α, inhibits STAT3, SHH (sonic hedgehog) Akt/p70s6k signaling pathways); Antioxidant (upregulates GSH, CAT, SOD, gpx GAP43, downregulates lipid peroxidation, attenuates H2O2, MPP+, MDA, regulates NADPH oxidase-NF-kβ signaling pathway); Anti-inflammatory (downregulates IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, COX-2, inos, NF-AT, AP-1); Anti-aging (increase SIRT1, PGC-1α); Cardioprotective (reduces mir-21, p-ERK/ERK, increase camp level, acetylcholine) |
Description : | Ursolic acid, 3β-hydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic-acid occurs as a crystalline solid or needle like with low solubility in water but soluble in alcoholic naoh and hot glacial acetic acid. It is a pentacyclic triterpene with a C-30 isoprenoid and can exist as an aglycone of saponin or a free acid. |
