Description

11-Keto-β-Boswellic Acid is a highly purified, bioactive pentacyclic triterpenoid compound isolated from the resin of the Boswellia serrata tree. This specific isomer is valued for its potent and selective inhibition of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme, making it a critical intermediate for advanced pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D teams in the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and cosmetic industries seeking to develop targeted anti-inflammatory and wellness formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: A key starting material for the synthesis of novel anti-inflammatory drugs targeting leukotriene pathways.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as a standardized, high-potency active ingredient in formulations for joint health and inflammatory support.
• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: Incorporated into topical creams and serums for its soothing and anti-redness properties.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reference standard and a critical tool in pharmacological studies for investigating 5-LOX enzyme inhibition mechanisms.
• Veterinary Health Products: Formulated into supplements for companion animals to support mobility and comfort.
