| Use | β-mastic acid is a major component of mastic (frankincense). A specific, non-redox, 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor for the treatment of inflammation. for content determination/identification/pharmacological experiments. |
| biological activity | β-bosulic acid was isolated from the gum grease of bosullia serrate. Β-bosulic acid is a non-reducing inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product formation that interacts directly with 5-LO or blocks its translocation. Β-bosulic acid inhibits DNA,RNA and protein synthesis in human leukemia HL-60 cells. |
