Pharmacology Functions :Medicinal plants containing ursolic acid
have been used in folk medicine before it was known which constituents
were responsible for their therapeutic effectiveness. Contemporary
scientific research which led to the isolation and identification of ursolic
acid revealed and confirmed that several pharmacological effects, such
as, anti-tumor, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory (oral and topical),
anti-ulcer, antimicrobial, anti-hyperlipidemic and antiviral, can be attributed
to ursolic acid1.
However, its anti-inflammatory (topical), anti-tumor (skin cancer), and
antimicrobial properties are pertinent to the cosmetic industry.
