Metalloproteinase Inhibition via Ursolic Acid-Gallic Acid Combination from Japanese Kampo

  • 1. MedicOath

Description

The traditional Kampo formula Shakuyaku-kanzo-to contains ursolic acid and gallic acid that synergistically chelate zinc ions in the catalytic domain of snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs). This dual-targeting approach shows enhanced potency compared to single-agent EDTA, with ursolic acid providing membrane stabilization while gallic acid offers direct enzyme inhibition.
