Betulinaldehyde（Cat No.:I001218）, also known as betulinic aldehyde, is a natural compound found in the bark of birch trees and other plants. It is a pentacyclic triterpenoid with potential therapeutic applications, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. Betulinaldehyde has been shown to inhibit the growth of several cancer cell lines by inducing apoptosis and suppressing angiogenesis. It also exhibits antiviral activity against a variety of viruses, including HIV and herpes simplex virus. Betulinaldehyde is often used as a precursor for the synthesis of betulinic acid, a derivative with enhanced pharmacological activity.
