What is the
ursolic acid
Ursolic Acid , a carboxylic acid
present in a wide variety of plants in the form of a free acid or
an aglycone of triterpene saponines. It is also known as urson,
prunol, micromerol, and malol, is a pentacyclic triterpenoid
compound which naturally occurs in a large number of vegetarian
food, medicinal herbs, and plants.
For What, and
How is Ursolic acid Used?
Ursolic acid treatment improves
the health of skin and hair. Ursolic acid and its derivatives form
oil-resistant barriers on the skin and hair, just as they form the
waxy coating of fruits. Ursolic acid has been used to treat
photoaged skin, because it inhibits the appearance of wrinkles and
age spots by restoring the skin?s collagen bundle structures and
elasticity. Ursolic acid inhibits the action of elastase enzyme in
the skin, thereby preventing the enzyme from attacking structural
proteins. Ursolic acid also inhibits the inflam-matory enzymes
cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase.
