Abstract:Oleanolic acid (3β-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, OA) is a kind of pentacyclic triterpene, which widely distributes in nature. OA possesses a powerful anti-cancer effect; however, its low solubility limits its bioavailability and application. In this study, a new OA derivative, K73-03, was used to determine its effect on liver cancer cells and detailed molecular mechanisms. We found that K73-03 could significantly inhibit the cell viability, migration and colony formation of SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells in a dos… Show more
