Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA)
In vitroMechanism of Action
Most potent 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor among boswellic acids; selective modulation of NF-κB and TNF-α signaling
Research Notes
AKBA is the most bioactive boswellic acid, showing 5-15 times greater potency than other isomers in 5-lipoxygenase inhibition. Premium extracts enriched for AKBA demonstrate enhanced efficacy for joint inflammation and asthma, though natural concentrations are typically 1-3% of total boswellic acids.
