Lophenol
Lophenol is an orally active phytosterol and PPARα and PPARγ agonist. Lophenol is found in cacti and aloe vera, and inhibits fat accumulation, weight gain, hepatic triglyceride accumulation and elevation of serum lipids. Lophenol regulates the expression of genes related to hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism, and downregulates the expression of hepatic lipid-related genes. Lophenol restores the levels of antioxidant enzymes and liver function parameters, and ameliorates liver tissue damage. Lophenol can be used in studies related to diet-induced obesity, drug-induced liver injury, sterol metabolism, and developmental regulation in nematodes.

PPARα |
PPARγ |
Lophenol (10-50 μM; 16 h) acts as a weak agonist that dose-dependently activates the transcriptional activities of PPARα and PPARγ in CV1 cells, while exerting minimal effects on PPARδ[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:CV1 Cell
-
Concentration:10 μM; 50 μM
-
Incubation Time:16 h
-
Result:Acted as a weak agonist that dose-dependently activated the transcriptional activities of PPARα and PPARγ in CV1 cells, while exerting minimal effects on PPARδ.
Lophenol (i.p.; once daily for 7 consecutive days, dose of 25-50 μg/kg BW) exhibits dose-dependent hepatoprotective activity against Acetaminophen (HY-66005)-induced liver injury in Swiss albino mice, and the 50 μg/kg BW dose restores liver function markers, antioxidant enzyme levels and liver histology to near-normal levels[2].
Lophenol (13 μM) completely replaces cholesterol in the culture medium, second-generation wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans form dauer larvae despite abundant food and low population density. Addition of Lathosterol (HY-113486) at concentrations as low as 20 nM completely prevents this phenotype and allows the worms to develop into reproductively competent adults[4].
