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.

TIMP2, Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-2: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
TIMP-2 has been shown to have distinct effects on cancer progression compared to TIMP-1. Research has suggested that TIMP-2 may have anti-tumor effects in certain types of cancer, including:
• Inhibiting tumor growth: TIMP-2 has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.
High levels of TIMP-2 have been associated with better prognosis and improved survival in some cancers.
High levels of TIMP-2 have been associated with better prognosis and improved survival in some cancers.
High TIMP-2 expression: Breast, Lung, colorectal, Prostrate.
Low TIMP-2 expression: Ovarian, Pancreatic, Gastric.
