The present invention provides novel methods to treat disease by modulating retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma (ROR-gamma) in vitro and in vivo with ursolic acid analogs, and compositions thereof. The methods and compounds disclosed herein are useful for inhibiting the differentiation of a population of T cells, or treating a disease related to Th17 cell responses in a subject. Examples of such diseases include, but are not limited to, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and diabetes.
particular those with anticancer activity. In this study, 13 novel ursolic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized in an attempt to further improve compound potency. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed using mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, and 1 H NMR. The ability of the UA derivatives to inhibit cell growth was assayed against both various tumor cell lines and
