Biological Activity

Description Stigmasterol is an unsaturated plant sterol that exhibits anti-cancer, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects.
In vitro Stigmasterol is an unsaturated plant sterol occurring in the plant fats or oils of soybean, calabar bean, and rape seed, and in a number of medicinal herbs, including the Chinese herbs Ophiopogon japonicus (Mai men dong) and American Ginseng. [1] Stigmasterol(Stigmasterin) is used as a precursor in the manufacture of synthetic progesterone, [2] a valuable human hormone that plays an important physiological role in the regulatory and tissue rebuilding mechanisms related to estrogen effects, as well as acting as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of androgens, estrogens, and corticoids. It is also used as the precursor of vitamin D3. [3] Research has indicated that stigmasterol may be useful in prevention of certain cancers, including ovarian, prostate, breast, and colon cancers.
