BetA, Betulinic acid: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
Betulinic acid "buh-TOO-li-nik acid" is a natural compound with antiretroviral, anti malarial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. It is found in the bark of several plants, such as white birch, ber tree and rosemary, and has a complex mode of action against tumor cells.
-Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid
-vitro concentrations range from 1–100 µM, in vivo studies in rodents have generally used doses from 10–100 mg/kg
-half-life reports vary 3-5 hrs?.
BioAv -hydrophobic molecule with relatively poor water solubility.

ROCK1, Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
ROCK1 (Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1)
– ROCK1 is a serine/threonine kinase and a major effector of the Rho GTPase signaling pathway.

– Elevated expression of ROCK1 has been observed in various cancers, including breast, prostate, lung, colorectal, and gastric cancers.

– In many tumors, ROCK1 overexpression correlates with increased cell motility, invasion, and metastatic potential.

ROCK1↓, BA, BA-L, and HA-BA-L downregulated the expression of ROCK1, IP3, and RAS in HepG2 cells,
RAS↓,
*BioAv↓, However, its shortcomings, namely poor water solubility and low bioavailability of BA in vivo, limit its clinical application.
BioAv↑, Liposomes can effectively improve the bioavailability of BA. Therefore, the development of liposomal BA delivery can further enhance its efficacy.


* indicates research on normal cells as opposed to diseased cells
