A brief description on ursolic acid:
A pentacyclic triterpene acid, used in cosmetics, that is also capable of inhibiting various types of cancer cells by inhibiting the STAT3 activation pathway and human fibrosarcoma cells by reducing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 by acting through the glucocorticoid receptor. It may also decrease proliferation of cancer cells and induce apoptosis.
Ursolic acid can serve as a starting material for synthesis of more potent bioactive derivatives, such as antitumor agents. It has been found to reduce muscle atrophy and to stimulate muscle growth in mice. Ursolic acid has potential use as a cardioprotective compound.
Ursolic acid was found to be a weak aromatase inhibitor.
Ursolic acid has been shown to increase the amount of muscle and brown fat and decrease obesity and associated conditions when added to diets fed to mice.
I got this from wilkepedia, but there's a lot more extensive literature on it, as well as studies. Sounds like great stuff: anti cancerous, ai, fat burner, muscle builder, heart protector, the list goes on and on. Sounds like I found a new product to add to my arsenal.
