1 Betulinic acid as new activator of NF-kappaB: molecular mechanisms and implications for cancer therapy. betulinic acid nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
2 Thus, our findings that activation of NF-kappaB by BetA promotes BetA-induced apoptosis in a cell type-specific fashion indicate that NF-kappaB inhibitors in combination with BetA would have no therapeutic benefit or could even be contraproductive in certain tumors, which has important implications for the design of BetA-based combination protocols. betulinic acid nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 Homo sapiens
