Description

Beta-Sitosterol (purity>75%) is a phytosterol with oral activity. Beta-Sitosterol (purity>75%) interferes with a variety of cell signaling pathways, including the cell cycle, apoptosis and cell proliferation. Beta-Sitosterol (purity>75%) has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor activities[1][2][3].

In Vitro

Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (16 μM, 1, 3, 5 days) can inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells and induce cell apoptosis[1].
Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (120, 240 μM, 24 h) shows significant dose-dependent growth inhibition on COLO 320 DM cells (IC50 266.2 μM). The expression of β-catenin and PCNA antigens in human colon cancer cells was inhibited by scavenging reactive oxygen species to induce cell apoptosis[2].

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 16 μM
Incubation Time: 3 days
Result: No cytotoxicity at 16 μM

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231
Concentration: 16 μM
Incubation Time: 5 days
Result: Increased 33% apoptosis when assayed using 1×104 cells and a 6-fold increase in apoptosis when assayed using a smaller number of cells 5×103.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: COLO 320 DM
Concentration: 15, 30, 60, 120 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h
Result: Decreased β-catenin and PCNA expression.
In Vivo

Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (10-20 mg/kg, suspended in 0.1% CMC, orally, once a day for 16 weeks) can prevent cancer in the rat model of colon cancer[2].
Beta-Sitosterol purity>75% (10, 15, 20 mg/kg, orally, for 21 consecutive days) has anti-hyperglycemic and antioxidant effects in streptozotocin (HY-13753) induced experimental hyperglycemic rat models[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
