Stigmasterol acetate (CAS 4651-48-3)
QUICK LINKS
Stigmasterol acetate, a plant sterol abundantly present in various plants and foods. This compound serves as a precursor for several hormones and vitamins. Stigmasterol acetate exhibits multiple mechanisms of action that contribute to its beneficial effects. One of its key actions involves modulating cholesterol metabolism, and it achieves this by acting as a ligand for the nuclear receptor LXRα, which plays a role in regulating cholesterol levels. By interacting with LXRα, stigmasterol acetate influences cholesterol metabolism, thereby potentially reducing cholesterol levels in the body. Furthermore, stigmasterol acetate displays anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, the signaling molecules involved in the inflammatory response.
