Lipoxygénase

Compound 3, known as 5-LOX/MAOs-IN-1, acts as an inhibitor of 5-LOX/MAOs and is an effective free radical scavenger, displaying antioxidant characteristics. It has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in cell models damaged by oxidative stress and is capable of activating the neurogenesis microenvironment in adult mouse neural stem cells. This compound is utilized in research focused on neurodegenerative diseases.

Applications 3-O-Acetyl-beta-boswellic acid possesses anti-inflammatory potential on key inflammatory mediators, TNF-α and IL-6. Main bioactive components of frankincense which is a fragrant resin obtained from plants of the genus Boswellia, acts as a cytotoxic agents. It is also a non-competitive 5-lipoxygenase and topoisomerase I and IIa. References Sharma, S., et al.: Bioorg. Med. Chem.
