説明

Lupeol is a kind of novel anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer dietary triterpene that can be found in white cabbage, green pepper, strawberry, olive, mangoes and grapes. In recent years, much progress has been made on the application of this molecule for clinical treatment of various kind of disorders. On the one hand, it has been extensively studied that it is capable of inhibiting inflammation under both in vitro and in animal models. Studies have shown that Lupeol is a multi-target agent during its anti-inflammation effect, targeting on many key molecular pathways involving nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB), cFLIP, Fas, Kras, phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and Wnt/β-catenin. On the other hand, Lupeol has strong anti-tumor effect during treatment of various cancer types such as prostate, skin, pancreatic and breast cancer. The anti-tumor effect might be related to its potential to modulate important signaling pathways such as nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase [PI3K] /Akt (protein kinase B pathway), which are crucial during tumorigenesis.
