Brassicasterol is a metabolite of Ergosterol and has cardiovascular protective effects. Brassicasterol exerts anticancer effects in prostate cancer through dual targeting of AKT and androgen receptor signaling pathways. Brassicasterol inhibits HSV-1 (IC₅₀=1.2 μM) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Brassicasterol also inhibits sterol δ 24-reductase, slowing the progression of atherosclerosis. Brassicasterol is also a cerebrospinal fluid biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.

Brassicasterol (10 μM; 24 h) downregulates dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced expression of androgen receptor (AR) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in LNCaP cells ^[4].
Brassicasterol (50 μM; 48 h) Arrests the cell cycle of LNCaP in the sub-G1 phase and induces cell apoptosis ^[4].
Brassicasterol (10 μM; 48 h) also inhibits LNCaP cell migration ^[4].
Brassicasterol (100 μg /mL; 48 h) In a 3D organoid model, it can inhibit AKT, and its inhibitory effect on AR-independent cancers and AR-dependent cell^[4].

Stock Solution Working Solution

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 10% EtOH 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (1.25 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL EtOH stock solution (5.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
