Study finds that acetyl-11-keto-Beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) reduced growth of pancreatic cancer and metastasis in mouse model.  AKBA also inhibits NF-kappaB and induced apoptosis.  AKBA is found in Frankinsense. 

Boswellic acid shown to have systemic anti-inflammatory effects through topical application.  This study only looked at Boswellia Serrata and it's triterpenes.  The different Boswellia have different levels of AKBA, BA, and BKA.

Study questions the 5-LOX inhibition as the mechanism of action of Boswellia due to its low absorption.  However, prostaglandin E production was inhibited.  Both have profound antiiflammatory effects and would benefit chronic inflammatory diseases.
