Oleanolic Acid, A Promising Remedy for the Treatment of Chronic Diseases

By Kyle J. Norton

Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last more than 3 months, depending on the type of diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and stroke, cancer, diabetes, epilepsy and seizures, and obesity.

The exact causes of chronic diseases are not identified. Aging, unhealthy lifestyle such as excessive alcohol drinking smoking, poor diet, lack of physical activity are the most common risk factors associated with the onset of the disease.

According to the statistics, chronic diseases affect millions of people worldwide, leading to the death of 35 million people in 2005, including many young people and those in middle age.

According to the joint study led by Fordham University, chronic diseases are among the most prevalent and costly health conditions in the US, affecting over 133 million of the US population as many of them suffer from at least one chronic disease and the number is growing in the rapid rate.

Some chronic diseases such as cancer have been found to be the leading causes of hospitalization, long-term disability, reduced quality of life, and death.

In other words, chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.

In an inflammatory perspective, chronic inflammatory diseases are the results of the immune system response inability to kill off all infectious pathogens during the acute phase of infection, leading to the immune adaptation to the new change.

In some cases, chronic diseases also are caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking the bodily tissue, leading to low-grade inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Oleanolic acid is a phytochemical in the subclass of Triterpenoid, belonging to the group of Terpenes found abundantly in honey mesquite, garlic, java apple, clove, etc.

On finding a potential plant that processes anti-inflammatory activity researchers examined the potential of oleanolic acid (OA) in the prevention and management of chronic diseases.

According to the results of the analysis of other studies,
* OA exerted a therapeutic effect on different chronic diseases and symptoms.

* Oleanolic acid also serves as a framework for the development of novel semi-synthetic triterpenoids for finding therapeutic modalities for various ailments.

* Synthesis of chemical derivatives of OA to enhance its solubility, bioavailability, and potency.
Collectively, researchers said, "This review suggests that oleanolic acid and its derivatives are important candidates in the search for alternative therapy in the treatment and management of chronic diseases".

Taken altogether, oleanolic acid may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
