Chemical Compound in Apple Peels Found to Show Potential in Treating Multiple Sclerosis
Carla Simmons Jun 14, 2020 10:54 PM EDT
In mice studies, researchers from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have discovered that apple peel contains a chemical compound that could repair neurons and halt the disease process of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Ursolic acid, which is found in fruit peels such as apples, pears, and prunes, is responsible for giving the crops its shiny skin. Scientists say it could be made into the first drug capable of reversing the damages caused by the disease.
In the clinical trials, the authors of the study introduced ursolic acid to paralyzed mice experiencing similar symptoms as individuals with advanced stages of MS. The findings revealed that some of the animals were able to walk again, suggesting that the worsening condition came to a halt. If the results were to be the same in humans, this would commensurate to patients walking with a stick instead of requiring a wheelchair.
The researchers claim that the chemical compound might not be a "cure," but could provide significant improvement in the quality of lives of MS patients. The full findings of their study were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in April 2020.

Protective effect of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid against lipid peroxidation.

Biochemistry International, 30 Jun 1991, 24(5):981-990
PMID: 1776961
Abstract
In a search for plant products against cancer, the protective effect of two plant products, ursolic acid isolated from Ocimum sanctum and oleanolic acid from Eugenia jumbolana against free radical induced damage was studied. Three different standard systems viz., ascorbic acid, carbon tetrachloride, ADP/Iron were used to induce lipid peroxidation in isolated rat liver microsomes in vitro. Both oleanolic acid and ursolic acid offered remarkable protection of 90% and 60% respectively. Both the compounds did not induce lipid peroxidation by themselves that improved the therapeutic application.
