Description
Curator's Comment: The description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26337021 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17292610 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23688559 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26879835

Guggulsterone is a naturally occuring bioactive plant sterol isolated from the gum resin of guggul (Commiphora wightii), which potently reverses multi-drug resistance in a number of human cancer cell lines, extending the efficacy of chemotherapy. Guggulsterone is a highly efficacious antagonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear hormone receptor that is activated by bile acids. Z-guggulsterone and E-guggulsterone were identified as the key active ingredients responsible for the hypolipidemic activity of guggulipid. Both isomers possess similar hypolipidemic activity and mixture of the Z- and E-isomers (80:20) has been shown to lower cholesterol and triglycerides in normal and high-fat-fed rats.

Originator

Curator's Comment: The laboratory of the Dr. Sukh Dev the first isolated of Z- and E-guggulsterones from guggulipid in 1971.

Sample Use Guides

in experimental animals: Serum lipids were found to be lowered by Guggulsterone (an 80:20 mixture of the Z- and E-isomers) (50 mgkg, b.w.) in triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipaemia. Chronic feeding of this drug (5 mg/kg, b.w.) in animals simultaneously fed with cholesterol (25 m%kg, b.w.) for 30 days, caused lowering in the lipid and apoprotein levels of very low density and low density lipoproteins in experimental animals.
Route of Administration: Oral
Z-guggulsterone attenuates iNOS protein induction in BV-2 cells exposed to LPS. Pretreatment of Z-guggulsterone (30 min) at different concentrations (1, 10, 30 mkM) inhibited iNOS protein expression in cells stimulated by LPS (1 mkg/mL).
