In this publication we found that substances extracted from the plant Boswellia (the plant from which incense (Weihrauch) is made), can supress the activity of human T cells. An analysis of the intracellular signalling pathways in T cells indicated that the NFAT pathway was inhibited. The main relevant substance was 3-O-acetyl-alphaboswellic acid.
