Biological Activity

Description Betulinic acid (ALS-357, Lupatic acid, Betulic acid), a pentacyclic triterpenoid from Syzigium claviflorum, is a inhibitor of HIV-1 with EC50 of 1.4 μ M. It's reported that Betulinic acid acts as a new activator of NF-κB.Phase 1/2.
Targets
HIV-1 [1] Eukaryotic topoisomerase I [3] Aminopeptidase N [2]
1.4 μM(EC50) 5 μM 7.3 μM
In vitro Betulinic acid shows anti-HIV activity by blocking HIV replication in H9 lymphocytes with an EC50 value of 1.4 μM and inhibiting uninfected H9 cell growth with an IC50 value of 13 μM. [1] Betulinic acid also acts as anti-melanoma agent through inhibiting aminopeptidase N activity with IC50 of 7.3 μM. [2] In addition, Betulinic acid inhibits eukaryotic topoisomerase I activity with IC50 of 5 μM and can be exploited as a strong candidate for anti-tumor drug. [3]
In vivo Betulinic acid inhibits prostate cancer cell and tumor (xenograft) growth in athymic nude mice bearing LNCaP cells and this is due, in part, to proteasome-dependent downregulation of Sp1, Sp3, Sp4 and several Sp-regulated genes. [4]

Protocol (from reference)

Kinase Assay:[3]
  • Topoisomerase I-DNA interaction

    Annealed 25-mer duplex of oligonucleotide-1 and oligonicleotide-2 is incubated with 25 or 50 units of rat liver topoisomerase I at 8 °C for 15 min in the presence or absence of betulinic acid in binding buffer. After incubation the reaction mixtures are electrophoresed in 7% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel at 4 °C in 0.167 × TBE buffer and DNA bands are stained with ethidium bromid
Animal Study:[4]
  • Animal Models

    LNCaP tumor xenograft model

  • Dosages

    10 and 20 mg/kg/d

  • Administration

    Orally
