Biological Activity

[Description]:

β-Elemonic acid is a triterpene isolated from Boswellia papyrifera. β-Elemonic acid induces cell apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and COX-2 expression and inhibits prolyl endopeptidase. β-Elemonic acid exhibits anticancer and anti-inflammatory effects[1][2].

[Target]

COX-2


[In Vitro]

β-elemonic acid (1, 3, 10, 20 µM; 24 hours) strongly induces human A549 lung cancer cell apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner[1]. β-elemonic acid (1, 3, 10, 20 µM; 24 hours) exerts potent cytotoxic effects on human NSCLC A549 cells in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value following a 24-h exposure to β-elemonic acid was 6.92 µM[1]. β-elemonic acid (20 µM; 24 hours) results in a cell percentage of 58.01% in the G0/G1 phase[1]. β-elemonic acid (1, 3, 10, 20 µM; 24 hours) inhibits phosphorylation of p42/44, MAPK/JNK and p38 in the A549 cells[1].
