Molecular structure of 3- O -acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid and its ʟ-alanine conjugate (AKBA-Ala) and their impact on lipoxygenases

3- O -Acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) is an anti-inflammatory constituent of frankincense. Its potency is attributed to its ability to interact with enzymes in the inflammation cascade, such as lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, to decrease formation of pro-inflammatory prod...
