MedChemExpress - Model Brassicasterol - 474-67-9
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[1][2][3][4][5][6].MCE products for research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Description：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.
In Vitro：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].
IC50 & Target：HSV-1 1.2 μM (IC50)
