Description | Guggulsterone is a plant sterol derived from the gum resin of the tree Commiphora wightii. Guggulsterone inhibits the growth of a wide variety of tumor cells and induces apoptosis through down regulation of antiapoptotic gene products (IAP1, xIAP, Bfl-1/A1, Bcl-2, cFLIP and survivin), modulation of cell cycle proteins (cyclin D1 and c-Myc), activation of caspases and JNK, inhibition of Akt[1]. Guggulsterone, a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) antagonist, decreases CDCA-induced FXR activation with IC50s of 17 and 15 μM for Z- and E-Guggulsterone, respectively[2]. |

In Vitro | Guggulsterone (0.5-20 μM; 24 hours) suppresses TREM-1, TLR4 and TNF-α expression as well as the phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65 by LPS[2]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells Concentration: 0.5, 5, 10, 20 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Suppressed TREM-1, TLR4, and TNF-α expression as well as the phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65 by LPS. |
In Vivo | Guggulsterone (orally; 100 mg/kg once per day for 8 days) significantly improved the survival rates of wild-type mice with TNBS-induced colitis[2]. Animal Model: Wild-type mice with TNBS-induced colitis[2] Dosage: 100 mg/kg Administration: Orally; once per day; for 8 days Result: Improved the survival rates of wild-type mice with TNBS-induced colitis. |
