The novel anti-inflammatory properties of the gum resin derived from Boswellia serrata, also known as Salai guggal in Ayurvedic medicine, are well recognized and highly recommended for human consumption. The active constituents of the gum resin are boswellic acids (BAs). Among the BAs, AKBA potently inhibits 5-lipoxygenase product formation with an IC(50) of 1.5 m muM. We developed a novel Bosw...

Objective: The hippocampal formation, particularly the dentate gyrus (DG), shows age-related morphological changes that could cause memory decline. It is indicated that Boswellia resins attenuates memory deficits and the major component of Boswellia serrata (Bs) gum resin, beta boswellic acid increased neurite outgrowth and branching in hippocampal neurons. This study was designed to investigat...

Objective: Boswellia serrata is a plant with long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Growth factors their receptors are significant components the initiation progression malignancy, aberrant functioning these pathways can result unrestrained cell division expansion. Methods: In this study, an silico approach was used to exp...
