Lupeol, a biologically active dietary triterpenoid, is found in many medicinal plants and different fruits such as olives, mangos, and strawberries. Lupeol exhibits a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, cardioprotective, and hepatoprotective activities. Lupeol inhibits LPS-induced microglial neuroinflammation via the P38-MAPK and JNK pathways and has therapeutic potential to treat various neuroinflammatory disorders. Lupeol possesses antiskin tumor-promoting effects in CD-1 mouse and inhibits conventional as well as novel biomarkers of tumor promotion. It strongly suppressed lipogenesis by modulating the IGF-1R/phosphatidylinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt/sterol response element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) signaling pathway in SEB-1 sebocytes, and reduced inflammation by suppressing the NF-κB pathway in SEB-1 sebocytes and HaCaT keratinocytes. Lupeol exhibited a marginal effect on cell viability and may have modulated dyskeratosis of the epidermis. These results demonstrate the clinical feasibility of applying lupeol for the treatment of acne.

To examine whether lupeol modulates lipid synthesis in human SEB-1 sebocytes, intracellular neutral lipid content was analyzed by Nile Red staining after treating the cells with different concentrations of lupeol. Lupeol significantly decreased lipid by 58% in SEB-1 sebocytes treated with 20 uM lupeol.
