7α,24(S)-Dihydroxycholesterol ((3β,7α,24S)-Cholest-5-ene-3,7,24-triol) acts as a ligand for liver X receptors (LXR), specifically binding to the ligand-binding domains of LXRα and LXRβ. This compound is synthesized through the E-α,β-unsaturated ketone process, starting with arsindole and J-secondary-butyl dimethylsiloxy-bis-positive-5-cholestenal as the initial materials. It undergoes a series of transformations to produce 7α,24(S)-dihydroxycholesterol.

Saikosaponin A has a variety of pharmacological benefits, including antiepileptic, anti-osteoporosis, antioxidant, anti-in ammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-bacterial activities. It can effectively attenuate neuropathic pain in CCI rats by inhibiting the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in spinal cord. It can inhibit NMDA receptor current and persistent sodium current, and inhibit the TNF-α level, the IL-1β production, and cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase)-1 activity.

22(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol is a synthetic oxysterol and a modulator of the liver X receptor (LXR). [1] t prevents monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) expression induced by the LXR agonist GW 3965 in primary hepatocytes and downregulates mRNA expression of the LXR target genes CD36, ACSL1, and SCD-1 in human myotubes. It decreases triacylglycerol and diacylglycerol synthesis from labeled palmitate and acetate, respectively, in human myoblasts by 50% when used at a concentration of 10 uM. 22(S)-hydroxy Cholesterol also reduces fatty acid synthase (FAS) reporter activity through an LXR response element in the promoter region in COS-1 cells transfected with RXRα and LXRα and decreases the expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 in a mouse model of chronic ethanol consumption.[1] [2] Dietary supplementation of 22(S)-hydroxy cholesterol (30 mg/kg per day) leads to less body weight gain and lower liver triacylglycerol levels in rats when fed either a regular chow or high-fat diet as well as prevents an increase in plasma triacylglycerol levels resulting from a high-fat diet.[3]

Bacterial type II fatty acid synthesis (FAS-II) is mediated by a series of enzymes, each of which may be targeted by potential antibiotics. Bischloroanthrabenzoxocinone (BABX) is an inhibitor of FAS-II, blocking fatty acid synthesis in S. aureus and E. coli with IC50 values of 11.4 and 35.3 μg/ml, respectively. It inhibits the growth of S. aureus and permeable E. coli strains with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 0.2-0.4 μg/ml. BABX also displays binding to liver X receptors (LXRs), inhibiting agonist binding in an LXRα-scintillation proximity assay (IC50 = 10 μM).
