Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Corosolic acid is a pentacyclic triterpene acid found in Lagerstroemia speciosa. It is similar in structure to ursolic acid, differing only in the fact that it has a 2-alpha-hydroxy attachment. Corosolic acid has numerous biological properties, including antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and protein kinase C inhibition activity. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence to support these uses.

More Info
Product Data
Biological target:
Corosolic acid (Colosolic acid) isolated from the fruit of Cratoegus pinnatifida var. psilosa, was reported to have anticancer activity.
In vitro activity:
Results demonstrated that corosolic acid could prevent NRG1-induced HER2/HER3 heterodimerization and suppress the phosphorylation of both HER2 and HER3. Furthermore, HER2 and HER3 could regulate the downstream signalling pathways of RalA/RalBP1/CDK1 and PI3K/Akt/PKA, respectively, resulting in the changes in phosphorylation of Drp1 and mitochondrial dynamics. Reference: Br J Pharmacol. 2021 Mar;178(6):1475-1491. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33443775/
In vivo activity:
After Dox injury, compared with the control group, CRA (corosolic acid) increased the survival rate of mice, improved the cardiac function, decreased the oxidative stress, and reduced the apoptosis. Reference: Cell Biol Toxicol. 2021 Jul 22. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34296331/
