Description
β-Sitosterol has recently been shown to induce G2/M arrest, endoreduplication, and apoptosis through the Bcl-2 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. β-Sitosterol, 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 β-sitosterols is unknown, it may be related to cholesterol metabolism or anti-inflammatory effects (via interference with prostaglandin metabolism) . β-Sitosterol induces apoptosis and activates key caspases in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. (In Vitro) :Beta-Sitosterol is one of the most abundant dietary phytosterols. Beta-Sitosterol shows anticancer properties against breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, ovarian cancer, and leukemia.
