Abstract: The present invention provides therapeutic compositions comprising a natural triterpenoid and a proteasome inhibitor. These compositions will be particularly useful in the treatment of malignancies and inflammation. The present invention also provides methods of treating a subject having a malignancy or an inflammatory disorder comprising administering to the subject a natural triterpenoid and a proteasome inhibitor.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for the inhibition of inflammation by providing, to a cell, in need thereof, monoterpene compositions that inhibit NF-?B. These compositions may also contain a carrier moiety that renders the monoterpene composition membrane permeable. The carrier may include triterpenoid moieties, sugars, lipids, or even additional monoterpenoid moieties. The composition can also contain additional chemical functionalities. Methods for using these compounds to prevent and treat a wide range of inflammatory conditions, especially, premalignant inflammatory conditions are described.

Abstract: The invention provides novel saponin mixtures and compounds which are isolated from the species Acacia victoriae and methods for their use. These compounds may contain a triterpene moiety, such as acacic or oleanolic acid, to which oligosaccharides and monoterpenoid moieties are attached. The mixtures and compounds have properties related to the regulation of apoptosis and cytotoxicity of cells and exhibit potent anti-tumor effects against a variety of tumor cells.
