Z-Guggulsterone is a synthetic form of the guggul tree plant steroid. Z-Guggulsterone exhibits an ability to lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Z-Guggulsterone also acts as a selective antagonist of farnesoid X receptor (FXR). In the presence of 100 μM chenodeoxycholic acid (IC50 = 10 μM), Z-Guggulsterone inhibits FXR transactivation. Z-Guggulsterone does not activate or inhibit transactivation of liver X receptor α (LXRα), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ), or retinoid X receptor α (RXRα).
