Metabolite Identification
Common Name3alpha-Corosolic acid
Description3-alpha-Corosolic acid, also known as 3-a-corosolate or simply corosolic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triterpenoids. These are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Corosolic acid (CA), is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid acid isolated from Lagerstroemia sp. (Banaba). Banaba, or Lagerstroemia speciosa, is a tree native to tropical Southeast Asia. It is also known as Crape Myrtle. The tree is widely distributed in India, Malaysia, and the Philippines, where it’s known as Jarul, Pride of India, or Giant Crape Myrtle. Almost every part of the tree offers medicinal properties. For example, the bark is often used to treat diarrhea, while its root and fruit extracts are believed to have an analgesic, or pain-relieving, effect. The most important compound, 3-alpha-Corosolic acid, is found in the leaves and possesses antiatherosclerotic, antihyperlipidemic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antifungal, antiviral, and antineoplastic activities (PMID: 26615974 ). The effects of CA are thought to be mediated by peroxisome proliferator activator receptor (PPAR), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), NF-κB, and other signal transduction factors. Banaba extracts that include Corosolic acid have been used for many years in folk medicine to treat diabetes, with the first published research study being reported in 1940. The beneficial effects of corosolic acid with regard to glucose and lipid metabolism appear to involve multiple mechanisms, including enhanced cellular uptake of glucose, impaired hydrolysis of sucrose and starches, decreased gluconeogenesis and improved regulation of lipid metabolism (PMID: 22095937 ). 3-alpha-Corosolic acid is only found in those individuals who consume this folk medicine or eat the plant. Technically 3-alpha-Corosolic acid is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults or impacts from environmental, dietary and occupational sources.
