ELEUTHEROSIDE A

Daucosterol can be used as an efficient and inexpensive neuroprotectants, to which the IGF1-like activity of daucosterol contributes and it could be potentially developed as a medicine for ischemic stroke treatment. Moreover, daucosterol has neuroprotective activity, it has proliferation-enhancing activity of neural stem cells (NSCs), and it as an efficient and inexpensive growth factor alternative that could be potentially developed as a medicine for ischemic stroke treatment, can significantly reduce neuronal loss.
The study demonstrated that daucosterol works as an efficient and inexpensive growth factor alternative that could be used in clinical medicine and research applications.

Daucosterol, alias: Citoside, β-Sitosterol β-D-glucoside, and the molecular formula is C35H6. The compound of the formula (description column) belongs to a carotene compound, which is present in mallow family plants, and figs and other plants also contain carotene. Daucosterol exhibits anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and acaricidal activities, also moderate antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, and it has anti-cancer and apoptotic effects in human colon cancer cell line HCT-116.

White to off white powder

β-Sitosterol and β-sitosteryl-β-D-glucoside were isolated as analgesic constituents from the leaves of Mentha cordifolia Opiz.

ChEBI: A steroid saponin that is sitosterol attached to a beta-D-glucopyranosyl residue at position 3 via a glycosidic linkage. It has bee isolated from Panax japonicus var. major and Breynia fruti osa.
