Title: Topical therapy with the betulin based triterpene extract (TE) in patients with chronic pruritus
Abstract: The betulin (BE) based triterpene extract (TE) from birch cork contains 81% BE, betulinic acid (4%), lupeol (3%), erythrodiol (1%) and oleanolic acid (1%). The TE stabilizes a W/O emulsion (BE emulsion) without any other additives [1]. Experimental studies suggest that the TE components induce anti-inflammatory [2] and wound healing effects [3] in the skin, but no antipruritic activity is published, yet.
