Abstract

Boswellic acid acylates including their epimers were synthesized and screened against a panel of human Cancer cell lines. They exhibited a range of cytotoxicity against various human Cancer cell lines thereby leading to the development of a possible SAR. One of the identified lead compounds was found to be an inhibitor of the NF-κB and STAT proteins, warranting further investigations to be developed into a potential Anticancer lead.
