Steroids

24-Hydroxycholesterol is a natural sterol, which serves as a positive allosteric modulator of N-Methyl-d-Aspartate (NMDA) receptorsR, and a potent activator of the transcription factors LXR.

Periplogenin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Periplogenin (HY-N2414). Periplogenin is an orally active cardiac glycoside found in Cortex periplocae. Periplogenin can induce ROS production and necroptosis and cause G0/G1 phase arrest. Periplogenin can inhibit pyroptosis by regulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling. Periplogenin suppresses growth of prostate carcinoma cells by docking to an ATP1A1 protein pocket and forming a hydrogen bond with T804. Periplogenin can be used for the researches of cancer, inflammation and immunology, such as prostate carcinoma, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.

1-Monomyristin, extracted from Serenoa repens, inhibits the hydrolysis of 2-oleoylglycerol (IC50=32 μM) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity (IC50=18 μM). 1-Monomyristin shows antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and also antifungal activity against Candida albicans.

Gitogenin (Standard) is the analytical standard of Gitogenin. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Gitogenin is a natural steroid isolated from the whole plant of Tribulus longipetalus. Gitogenin is a selective inhibitor of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A4 (UGT1A4) and enzyme α-glucosidase with IC₅₀ values of 0.69 μM (use trifluoperazine as a substrate) and 37.2 μM, respectively, and does not inhibit the activities of major human cytochrome P450 isoforms.

12-Deoxywithastramonolide (Standard) is the analytical standard of 12-Deoxywithastramonolide. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 12-Deoxywithastramonolide is a principle bioactive compound found in ashwagandha (W. somnifera). 12-Deoxywithastramonolide possesses antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory effects.

7α-Hydroxycholesterol is a cholesterol oxide and can serve as a biomarker for oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. 7α-Hydroxycholesterol has cytotoxic and pro-inflammatory activities. 7α-Hydroxycholesterol can also inhibit sterol synthesis and reduce the activity of HMG-CoA reductase. 7α-Hydroxycholesterol can be used in the research of diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Cortisol sulfate sodium (Cortisol 21-sulfate) is a metabolite of Cortisol (HY-N0583). Cortisol sulfate sodium is a specific ligand for intracellular transcortin.

7-Keto-DHEA (Standard) (7-Oxo-DHEA (Standard)) is the analytical standard of 7-Keto-DHEA (HY-N9483). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 7-Keto-DHEA binds to GABA Receptor, and reduces the ethanol intake in rats. 7-Keto-DHEA exhibits potential in investigation of alcohol dependence disorders.

3-Oxo-7-hydroxychol-4-enoic acid is an endogenous metabolite. 3-Oxo-7-hydroxychol-4-enoic acid may be an important indicator of a poor prognosis in hepatobiliary disease.

5a-Pregnane-3,20-dione is the endogenous progesterone metabolite.

Cholesteryl palmitate (Standard) is the analytical standard of Cholesteryl palmitate. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Cholesteryl palmitate is the main cholesterol ester found in human blephariol and has been used to form a stable tear film to study amphiphilic block copolymers as surfactants for dry eye syndrome. Cholesteryl palmitate can be used as a predictor of fetal lung maturity. Cholesteryl palmitate can be used as a prognostic biomarker for chronic interstitial pneumonia.

Epicoprostanol (Standard) is the analytical standard of Epicoprostanol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Epicoprostanol is the compound found in adipocere.
