Plan: Anticancer potential of Boswellic acid

Preface: Boswellia serrata has been the mostinvestigated of all the species, with some photochemical studies, as well asbioactivity-related investigations. The presence of boswellic acids in almost all the species of Boswellia is a characteristic of this genus. The triterpenoids present in Boswellia are synthesized through isopentenyl pyrophosphate route (IPP) from a squalene intermediate and their role is yet to be fully understood, though they are certainly involved in defense mechanisms,as many of them have been reported to possess diverse biological activities.

Outcome: In the present review we discussed the anticancer potential of boswellic acid. It may help the researchers for further investigation.

Keywords: Anticancer,Boswellic acid
