Intermediates of stigmasterol metabolism in spodoptera littoralis

Steroids, 1989
Stigmasterol-24,28-epoxide, 22E-stigmasta-5,22,24(28E)-trien-3 beta-ol, and 22E-cholesta-5,22,24-trien-3 beta-ol were identified as normal metabolites of [3H]stigmasterol in Spodoptera littoralis larvae. Relative concentrations of all three of these metabolites increased when a diazasterol inhibitor was fed in combination with stigmasterol in the ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Stigmasterol Oxidation Products

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010
The synthesis and structural characterization of a series of oxides of stigmasterol is described providing a valuable series of reference standards for these oxides, analogous to the cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) which have been shown to have detrimental biological effects.

Nanocrystals as Tool to Enhance Stigmasterol Oral Bioavailability

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2021
Phytosterols are sterols naturally occurring in plant cells and well known for their cholesterollowering activity, as witnessed by the large number of food supplements based on these functional ingredients available on the market. However, the marked hydrophobic character of phytosterols makes their solubility in biological fluids extremely low, with ...

Short-step Synthesis of Chenodiol from Stigmasterol

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2004
Chenodiol is an important bile acid widely used for gallstone dissolution and cholestatic liver diseases. We succeeded in a short-step synthesis of chenodiol, starting from the safer phytosterol, stigmasterol.

Evaluation of the Antidepressant-like Effect of Total Sterols Fraction and Stigmasterol Isolated from Leaves of Aegle marmelos and Possible Mechanism(s) of Action Involved.

Current Drug Discovery Technologies, 2021
BACKGROUND Aegle marmelos Corr. (Rutaceae) commonly known as 'Indian Bael' has been used as a brain tonic traditionally. However, despite this traditional use, not enough scientific report is present that can confirm the use of this plant in neurological

Stigmasterol Removal by an Aerobic Treatment System

2017
Stigmasterol is a phytosterol contained in Kraft mill effluent that is able to increase over 100% after aerobic biological treatment. This compound can act as an endocrine disrupter as its structure is similar to that of cholesterol. Furthermore, stigmasterol contained in Kraft mill effluent shows high toxicity (25-fold that of β-sitosterol) to aquatic

Oxidation of stigmasterol in heated triacylglycerols

Food Chemistry, 1989
Abstract A triacylglycerol mixture containing 5% stigmasterol by weight and devoid of other unsaponifiables was heated at 180 ± 5°C for several hours. Oxidation products from stigmasterol were separated and isolated by column chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography.

Semi‐synthesis of Several Stigmasterol Saponins

Chinese Journal of Chemistry, 2006
AbstractSeveral stigamasterol saponins were concisely synthesized. Namely, four monosaccharide (glucopyranose, galactopyranose, xylopyranose, 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐α‐D‐glucopyranose), lactopyranose and chacotriose were coupled with 3‐OH of stigmasterol. All the compounds were identified by NMR, IR and high resolusion MS.

Biosynthesis of stigmasterol from sitosterol in Digitalis Lanata

Steroids, 1969
Abstract After administration of sitosterol-3-14C to a Digitalis lanata plant, radioactive stigmasterol was isolated by chromatography and shown to be radiochemically pure by crystallization to constant specific activity.
