"This book explores the therapeutic potential of lupeol, a naturally occurring triterpenoid. The intro- ductory chapters present its physicochemical properties, chemical modifications, and synthetic ana- logs, highlighting its potential against various diseases. The beneficial effects of lupeol are explored across a broad range of health conditions, including its role in skin diseases and cardioprotec- tive effects. The book highlights its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemopreventive effects, including its use in nanoparticle formulations for enhanced efficacy. Its protective properties for the kidneys, liver, and brain are also explored, along with its ability to sensitize resistant cells to chemo- therapy and radiation. The chapters discuss the antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and anticancer effects of lupeol; its role in inhibiting tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis; and its modulation of transcription factors involved in disease pathways. Traditional uses of lupeol-containing plants in systems like Unani medicine and its influence on gut microbiota and postbiotics for disease man- agement are examined. Towards the end, the book also addresses lupeol's safety, toxicology, and future clinical potential"-- Provided by publisher.
