| Bioactivity | Campesterol is a plant sterol with cholesterol lowering and anticarcinogenic effects. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Campesterol shows a weak cytotoxicity in non-proliferating human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Within the non-cytotoxic concentration range, campesterol significantly inhibits the bFGF-induced proliferation and tube formation of HUVECs in a concentration-dependent manner, while it does not affect the motility of HUVECs. 50 μg/mL of campesterol decreases the cell viability up to about 56% of control(IC50 of over 50 μg/mL)[1]. | ||||||||||||
