Β-boswellic acid (β-BA) is one of the active triterpenoid compounds from the extract of boswellia serrate, known in Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine as Salai guggal. Beta-boswellic acid has been indicated in apoptosis of cancer cells. β-boswellic acid belonds to class of boswellic acids exhibiting anti-inflammatory activities, which are in the phase II clinical trial for study of safety and tolerability in subjects with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

β-boswellic acid (β-BA) significantly increases nitric oxide (NO) production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HEUVCs were pretreated with β-BA (25 and 50 uM) for 24 h before being subjected to 6 h OGD then incubated with β-BA for an additional 24 h. NO production was measured by DAF-FM DA. The amount of NO was evaluated by measuring the fluorescence intensity excited at 495 nm and emitted at 515 nm.
