skf-14463

Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) has recently been shown to induce G2/M arrest, endoreduplication, and apoptosis through the Bcl-2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) , a main dietary phytosterol found in plants, may have the potential for prevention and therapy for human cancer. Although the exact mechanism of action of Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) is unknown, it may be related to cholesterol metabolism or anti-inflammatory effects (via interference with prostaglandin metabolism). Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) induces apoptosis and activates key caspases in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells.

Beta-Sitosterol (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving Beta-Sitosterol. Beta-Sitosterol (SKF 14463) is a natural product, a phytosterol, which is widely found in the plant kingdom. The intake of Beta-Sitosterol has been linked to the incidence of a number of chronic diseases, such as a significant reduction in serum cholesterol.
