Description of β-acetyl-Boswellic Acid

β-acetyl-Boswellic Acid is a specific, nonreducing-type inhibitor of the 5-LO product formation with selectivity over 12-LO and COX [1][2].

5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is a member of the lipoxygenase family of enzymes and transforms EFA substrates into leukotrienes.

In rat peritoneal neutrophils, boswellic acids concentration dependently decreased the formation of leukotriene B4 from endogenous arachidonic acid. In isolated human platelets, boswellic acids in concentrations up to 400 μM did not impair the cyclooxygenase and 12-lipoxygenase [1]. In calcium/calcium ionophore-stimulated peritoneal neutrophils of rats, boswellic acids significantly decreased production of LTB4 and total 5-lipoxygenase products with EC50 value of about 30 μg/ml [2]. In six human myeloid leukemia cell lines, boswellic acid acetate, a 1:1 mixture of α-boswellic acid acetate and β-boswellic acid acetate induces apoptosis through caspase-mediated pathways [4].

Boswellic acids are pentacyclic triterpenes with putative anti-inflammatory effects. In a mouse model of osteoarthritis (OA), boswellic acid significantly attenuated articular cartilage erosion and significantly reduced knee synovitis and osteophyte formation. In synovium of mice, boswellic acid directly inhibit IL-1β and TLR4 induced inflammatory cytokines production [3].

Calculation results:

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
