Description and Uses
Ursonic acid (UNA) is a phytochemical which can be also extracted from a great variety of traditional medicinal herbs. It can be used as a cosmetics additive and serve as a starting material for synthesis of more potent bioactive derivatives, such as experimental antitumor agents. Ursonic acid induces the apoptosis of human cancer cells through multiple signaling pathways.
