關於乳香酸
Boswellic acids are a series of pentacyclic triterpene molecules which are produced by plants in the genus Boswellia.乳香酸是一系列由乳香屬植物產生的五環三萜分子。 Like many other terpenes, boswellic acids appear in the resin of the plant which exudes them.像許多其他萜烯一樣，乳香酸出現在散發它們的植物樹脂中。
[用法]
β-乳香酸，酮-β-乳香酸和乙酰基-β-乳香酸（AKBA）已在癌細胞特別是腦腫瘤和受白血病或結腸癌影響的細胞的凋亡中被表明。
Acetyl-boswellic acids also exhibit anti-inflammatory behaviour by inhibiting leukotriene synthesis.乙酰-乳香酸還通過抑制白三烯合成而表現出抗炎行為。 Specifically, it inhibits the activity of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase through a non-redox reaction.具體而言，它通過非氧化還原反應抑制XNUMX-脂氧合酶的活性。 Clinical trials have investigated the effectiveness of boswellic acids in treating ulcerative colitis, but a study on chemically induced colitis in mouse models showed little effectiveness.臨床試驗已經研究了乳香酸治療潰瘍性結腸炎的有效性，但對小鼠模型中化學誘導的結腸炎的研究卻很少見。 This latter study also linked large doses of boswellic acids to hepatotoxicity and increased lipid accumulation.後一項研究還將大劑量的乳香酸與肝毒性和脂質堆積增加聯繫在一起。 Paradoxically, low doses of Boswellia serrata extract may have hepatoprotective effects.矛盾的是，低劑量的乳香鋸緣青蟹提取物可能具有保肝作用。
乳香酸也被認為可以減輕哮喘症狀。
