betulinic acid/dental caries

BACKGROUND Plant extracts are usually complex mixtures of various polarity compounds and their study often includes a purification step, such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), to isolate interest compounds prior analytical investigations. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are a new promising type

Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid, is a very promising therapeutic drug with varied medicinal properties but it has low water solubility and consequentially low bioavailability. Cyclic β-(1→3),(1→6)-glucans (CBG), microbial cyclooligosaccharides produced by Bradyrhizobium japonicum

Betulinic acid (BA), an important pentacyclic triterpene widely distributed in many foods, possesses high antidiabetic activity. In this study, BA was found to exhibit stronger inhibition of α-glucosidase than acarbose with an IC50 value of (1.06 ± 0.02) × 10-5 mol L-1 in a mixed-type manner. BA

Betulinic acid (BA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclictriterpenoid possessing anti-retroviral, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Here, we studied the interaction of BA with human serum albumin (HSA) by using molecular docking, and molecular dynamic simulation methods. Molecular

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influences of betulinic acid (BA), a triterpenoid isolated from birch bark, on neuroinflammatory mediators involved in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in vitro. METHODS Encephalitogenic T cells were prepared from

Oral diseases, including dental caries, periodontal disease, and tooth loss, affect the majority of the population and can affect a person's overall health. Raisins contain polyphenols, flavonoids, and high levels of iron that may benefit human health. However, their oral health benefits are less

The antineoplastic effects of combinations of anticancer drugs (5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and cisplatin) and triterpenes (ursolic acid, betulinic acid, oleanolic acid and a Japanese apricot extract (JAE) containing triterpenes) on esophageal squamous carcinoma cells were examined by the WST-8
