    Mechanism of action

    General: The applicable part of trumpet satinash is the leaf. The leaf is of interest because it is a source of betulinic acid (29110). Other constituents of the leaf include oleanolic acid (71657) and platonic acid (29110).

    Anticancer effects: Trumpet satinash contains the constituent betulinic acid. Betulinic acid, isolated from other plants such as white birch, has been shown to have anti-cancer effects in vitro. Betulinic acid induces apoptosis of numerous cancer cell lines by inhibiting or inducing certain cellular pathways (28768,28777,28780,28783,28784,28785,28787,28788,28789,28791)(28795,28796,28797,29109). There is no evidence that trumpet satinash itself has anti-cancer effects.

    Antiparasitic effects: Trumpet satinash contains the constituent betulinic acid. Betulinic acid, isolated from other plants such as Uapaca species, has been shown to have antiparasitic effects in vitro against Plasmodium and Trypanosoma parasites (28773,28774,28775,29106). There is no evidence that trumpet satinash itself has antiparasitic effects.

    Antiviral effects: Trumpet satinash contains the constituents betulinic acid, oleanolic acid, and platonic acid (29110,71657). When isolated from trumpet satinash leaves, these constituents inhibit HIV-1 replication in vitro (29110,71657). There is no evidence that trumpet satinash itself has antiviral effects.

    Pharmacokinetics

    There is insufficient reliable information available about the pharmacokinetics of trumpet satinash.
