Ursolic Acid is a pentacyclic triterpene acid, used in cosmetics, that is also capable of inhibiting various types of cancer cells by inhibiting the STAT3 activation pathway and human fibrosarcoma cells by reducing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 by acting through the glucocorticoid receptor. As medicine, it is well tolerated and can be used topically and orally.

Ursolic Acid is present in many plants, including loquat, apples, bilberries, cranberries,   peppermint, rosemary, lavender, hawthorn. Loquat leaves contain high quantity of ursolic acid and related compounds which are responsible for the anti-cancer activity of apple. Ursolic Acid can also serve as a starting material for synthesis of more potent bioactive derivatives, such as anti-tumor agents.

 

Resource of raw material (loguat leaf):

The loguat leaf is supplied by the medicinal materials base operated in Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) in Putian city, Fujian, China. The compellent  GAP criterions not only prevent the leaves from any pollution, but also normalize the best quality of the leaves which ensures the quality of the leaf extracts meeting with the standard for export.

The leaf is also well-known for its high contents of ursolic acid and corosolic acid at 1. 0% and 0. 8% respectively, which is almost double to that in the loguat leaves planted in other regions. So the ursolic acid and corosolic acid produced from the leaves of this GAP base certainly have the characteristics of green, safe, effective, stable and controllable.
