Bioactivity | (Z)-Guggulsterone, a constituent of Indian Ayurvedic medicinal plant Commiphora mukul, inhibits the growth of human prostate cancer cells by causing apoptosis. (Z)-Guggulsterone inhibits angiogenesis by suppressing the VEGF–VEGF-R2–Akt signaling axis[1]. (Z)-Guggulsterone is also a potent FXR antagonist. (Z)-Guggulsterone reduces ACE2 expression and SARS-CoV-2 infection[2]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | (Z)-Guggulsterone (10, 20 μM; 24 or 48 hours) causes a decrease in the level of VEGF-R2 protein in HUVEC[1].(Z)-Guggulsterone (10 μM; 24 h) reduces ACE2 and SHP levels in primary airway and intestinal organoids, and reduces SARS-CoV-2 infection in multiple cell types via FXR-mediated ACE2 regulation[2].
