Calonysterone
Calonysterone is an orally effective IL-6 inhibitor. Calonysterone reduces the level of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6. Calonysterone prevents diet-induced obesity. Calonysterone normalizes abnormal plasma adiponectin and leptin concentrations. Calonysterone increases the percentage of total DNA methylation. Calonysterone enhances antioxidant activity. Calonysterone is applicable to obesity-related research.

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, 6 weeks old, obesity induced by 12-week high-fat, high-sugar diet)[1]
-
Dosage:10 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.; daily; 12 weeks
-
Result:Fully prevented HFHSD-induced body weight gain.
Normalized plasma leptin and adiponectin levels altered by HFHSD.
Significantly increased liver total antioxidant capacity and catalase levels compared to the HFHSD group.
Did not change liver superoxide dismutase levels relative to the standard diet control.
Counteracted HFHSD-induced increases in liver IL-6 mRNA and protein expression, and decreased plasma IL-6 levels.
Significantly increased global DNA methylation in the liver compared to the standard diet control group.
