Part1:What is Betulin birch bark
Betulin, is a class of triterpenoids extracted from birch bark. Its use in bark is unknown, but it can be used as betulinic acid (carboxylic acid group) substituted alcohol group) and other precursors of compounds with more biological functions.
Part2:Physiological effects of betulin
1. Betulin and its derivatives have shown great potential as biological agents in HIV and cancer treatment.
They work by interfering with the later stages of the viral life cycle and are related to viral entry and growth maturation.
2. Effective anti-tumor drugs, which directly cause some types of tumor cells to initiate self-destructive apoptosis programs, and can slow down the growth of several types of tumor cells.
3. It can reduce diet-induced obesity, reduce the lipid content in serum and tissue, and improve insulin sensitivity.
4. They have mild anti-inflammatory properties at higher concentrations, and their anti-inflammatory properties are mainly due to inhibition of non-neural gene pathways.
5. Betulin can inhibit the maturation of sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SBERPs) in vivo, thereby reducing the biosynthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids.
6. In addition, it has activities such as inhibiting the dissolution of proteins in hair fibers, improving the luster of damaged hair, and promoting hair growth. It can be used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
Part3:Physical and chemical properties
White crystalline powder, soluble in ethanol, chloroform and benzene, slightly soluble in cold water, petroleum ether, etc.
Part4:Purpose
For content determination/identification/pharmacological experiments, etc.
Pharmacological effects: It has the activities of anti-inflammatory, anti-virus, inhibiting protein dissolution in hair fiber, improving the luster of damaged hair, and promoting hair growth.
