Description

Beta-Sitosterol (purity>75%) is a phytosterol with oral activity. Beta-Sitosterol (purity>75%) interferes with a variety of cell signaling pathways, including the cell cycle, apoptosis and cell proliferation. Beta-Sitosterol (purity>75%) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor activities[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (16 μM, 1, 3, 5 days) can inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and induce cell apoptosis[1].
Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (120, 240 μM, 24 h) shows significant dose-dependent growth inhibition on COLO 320 DM cells (IC50 266.2 μM). The expression of β-catenin and PCNA antigens in human colon cancer cells was inhibited by scavenging reactive oxygen species to induce cell apoptosis[2].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 16 μM
Incubation Time: 3 days
Result: No cytotoxicity at 16 μM

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 16 μM
Incubation Time: 5 days
Result: Increased 33% apoptosis when assayed using 1×104 cells and a 6-fold increase in apoptosis when assayed using a smaller number of cells 5×103.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: COLO 320 DM
Concentration: 15, 30, 60, 120 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Decreased β-catenin and PCNA expression.
In Vivo

Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (10-20 mg/kg, suspended in 0.1% CMC, orally, once a day for 16 weeks) can prevent cancer in the rat model of colon cancer[2].
Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (10, 15, 20 mg/kg, orally, for 21 consecutive days) has anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidant effects in streptozotocin (HY-13753) induced experimental hyperglycemic rat models[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
