The triterpenoid natural product betulinic acid has also been reported to inhibit inflammatory signalling through the NFκB pathway [8]. Disruption of GPBA expression is reported to protect from cholesterol gallstone formation [10]. A new series of 5-phenoxy-1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides have been reported as highly potent agonists [4].
