General description
Antitumor and anti-HIV agent. A pentacyclic triterpene that selectively inhibits human melanoma in cell culture and in animal models. Appears to act specifically on melanoma cells without affecting other types of tumors. The antitumor effects of betulinic acid appear to be associated with the induction of mitochondrial permeability transition pore that triggers apoptosis. Also acts as a potent inhibitor of Hh/Gli signaling pathway inhibitor (IC50 = 32 μM).

Three triterpenes were isolated from Diospyros leucomelas and identified as betulin, betulinic acid, and ursolic acid. They showed anti-inflammatory activity in the carrageenan and serotonin paw edema tests and TPA and EPP ear edema tests. The blockade of their effects

Because betulinic acid was recently described as a melanoma-specific inducer of apoptosis, we investigated whether this agent was comparably effective against metastatic tumors and those in which metastatic ability and 92-kD gelatinase activity had been decreased by introduction of a

Different classes of anticancer drugs may trigger apoptosis by acting on different subcellular targets and by activating distinct signaling pathways. Here, we report that betulinic acid (BetA) is a prototype cytotoxic agent that triggers apoptosis by a direct effect on
