Abstract excerpt
Ursolic acid (UA) and corosolic acid (CA), naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpene acids, exhibit antiproliferative activities against various cancer cells, but a clear chemopreventive mechanism of these triterpenoids in colon cancer cells remains to be answered. Here we used a cell-based reporter system for detection of β-catenin response transcription (CRT) to identify UA as an antagonist of the...
