Triterpenoid found in a variety of fruits, including apples. Cardioprotective and anti-tumor agent. Under study as a potential Alzheimer′s disease therapeutic due to its inhibitory effect on the interactions between amyloid-β and the CD36 receptor.
International journal of pharmaceutics, 441(1-2), 261-268 (2012-12-01)
It has been demonstrated that ursolic acid (UA) could effectively induces apoptosis of cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), which constitutively expresses in gastric cancer. However, the hydrophobicity of UA increases the difficulty in its potential
European journal of medicinal chemistry, 58, 128-135 (2012-11-06)
This study designed and synthesized a series of novel ursolic acid derivatives in an attempt to develop potent antitumor agents. Their structures were confirmed using MS, IR, (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR. The inhibitory activities of the title compounds against
International journal of cancer, 133(12), 2781-2790 (2013-06-06)
Ursolic acid (UA) has been reported to possess anticancer activities. Although some of the anticancer activities of UA have been explained by its apoptosis-inducing properties, the mechanisms underlying its anticancer actions are largely unknown. We have found that UA-activated autophagy

The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt (PI3K-Akt) pathway and the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway are important in the development and proliferation of various human cancers. It has been found recently that ursolic acid treatment affects growth and apoptosis in cancer cells.
European journal of pharmacology, 701(1-3), 131-143 (2012-12-04)
Allergic asthma is a chronic airway disorder characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness to allergens, chronic airway inflammation, airway edema, increased mucus secretion, excess production of Th2 cytokines, and eosinophil accumulation in the lungs. Ursolic acid is known for its pharmacological effects
