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.

SP2 (Specificity Protein 2) and SP3 (Specificity Protein 3) are also members of the Sp/KLF (Sp1/Krüppel-like factor) family of transcription factors, similar to SP1. They share some functional similarities but also have distinct roles in cellular processes and cancer biology. -Sp proteins are a family of transcription factors that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. -SP1 is often overexpressed in various types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and lung cancers. However, expression levels of Sp in normal cells and tissues are low to undetectable. SP inhibitors: -Curcumin, Resveratrol, EGCG, Genistein, Piperlongumine, Betulinic acid |
