A review study has described the anticancer effects of ursolic acid to include protection of cellular DNA from damage, inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor/mitogen-activated protein kinase signal or of FoxM1 transcription factors, antiangiogenesis (which can inhibit tumor cell growth), inhibition of tumor cell migration and invasion, and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells [173]. The gene discussed is FOXM1; the disease is neoplasm.
