Background: Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense is a commercially important medicinal plant which has been used for hundreds of years as an Ayurvedic medicine for the attempted treatment of arthritis. It contains naturally occurring triterpenoic acids, called as boswellic acids (BA's).
Results: A highly reproducible High performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet diode array detection (HPLC-UV-DAD) method was developed for the simultaneous determination and quantitative analysis of eight major triterpenoic acids in Boswellia serrata gum resin obtained by different extraction techniques. All the calibration curves exhibited good linear regression (R(2) > 0.997) within the test ranges. The established method showed good precision and overall recoveries of the boswellic acids.
Conclusions: The eight triterpenoic acids coded as BS-1 (11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), BS-2 (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid), BS-3 (3-keto tirucallic acid), BS-4 (3-O-acetyl-alpha-tirucallic acid), BS-5 (3-O-acetyl-beta-tirucallic acid), BS-6 (alpha-boswellic acid), BS-7 (beta-boswellic acid) and BS-8 (3-O-acetyl-beta-boswellic acid) were isolated from the processed gum resin of Boswellia serrata by column chromatography. The proposed HPLC method is simple, reliable and has been very useful for the qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of boswellic acids in the gum resin of Boswellia serrata. The proposed method allows to quantify boswellic acids in appreciable amounts by HPLC-UV (DAD) method in the extracts and the available marketed formulations.Graphical abstractIsolation & separation of eight Triterpenoic acids from Boswellia serrata.

3--acetyl-11-keto--boswellic acid (-AKBA), a triterpene natural product, is one of the main natural products of resin (BSR) and has reported biological and immunomodulatory effects. 1-1,2,3-triazole derivatives of -AKBA (named -) were synthesized from -AKBA. The 1-1,2,3-triazole compounds are also known to have a wide range of biological and pharmacological properties as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies.

Being a central organ in homeostasis and maintaining the health of the biological system, kidneys are exposed to variable toxicants. Long-term exposure to nephrotoxic molecules causes chronic renal damage that causes fibrosis and loss of function. Such damage can be initiated by oxidative stress which provokes inflammation.

Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease, and Boswellia serrata (BS) gum resin shows potential in managing inflammatory conditions, although its effectiveness is limited due to poor absorption in the body.
- The study tests a new formulation of Boswellia called Boswellia nano emulsion gel (BNG) on mice with dermatitis induced to resemble psoriasis, finding that BNG significantly reduces inflammation and the associated symptoms.
- Results indicated that treatment with BNG lowers gene expression linked to inflammation compared to control groups, suggesting its therapeutic potential, but more clinical studies are needed to confirm these findings in humans.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) can cause severe complications, including diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). There is a significant gap in understanding the single-cell ecological atlas of DM and DFU tissues.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing data were used to create a detailed single-cell ecological landscape of DM and DFU.
