ANTI-CANCER POTENTIAL OF BOSWELLIC ACID: A MINI REVIEW
Journal Title: Hygeia:journal for drugs and medicines - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Plan: Anticancer potential of Boswellic acid Preface: Boswellia serrata has been the most investigated of all the species, with some photochemical studies, as well as bioactivity-related investigations. The presence of boswellic acids in almost all the species of Boswellia is a characteristic of this genus. The triterpenoids present in Boswellia are synthesized through isopentenyl pyrophosphate route (IPP) from a squalene intermediate and their role is yet to be fully understood, though they are certainly involved in defense mechanisms, as many of them have been reported to possess diverse biological activities. Outcome: In the present review we discussed the anticancer potential of boswellic acid. It may help the researchers for further investigation.
