Probably not. Some of the natural chemical components in Cissus quadrangularis are pentacyclic triterpenes; from what I have seen, they are related (at least structurally) to ursolic acid and bredemolic acid (bredemolic can be made from maslinic acid). Most of the SAR research I have looked at involves the ability of these components to suppresse NFK-β (stress pathway) and inhibit glycogen phosphorylase (allostearic inhibition). They may also work through NO/cGMP pathway (all triterpenes do this), and they may be anabolic through the suppression of bone loss via inhibiting NFK-β.....
