Steppogenin (2 mg/kg, IP, once) inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis[1].
Steppogenin (2 mg/kg, IP, once) shows the highest distribution to the liver and spleen (25.5-fold and 9.74-fold AUC ratio, respectively) with significantly higher T1/2[1].
Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Steppogenin in male C57BL/6 J mice[1].

| Animal Model: | C57BL/6 J mice (6-week-old, male, Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) allograft tumor model)[1] |
| Dosage: | 2 mg/kg |
| Administration: | IP, once |
| Result: | Significantly suppressed tumor growth. |
| Animal Model: | C57BL/6 J mice (6-week-old, male, Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) allograft tumor model)[1] |
| Dosage: | 2 mg/kg |
| Administration: | IP, once (Pharmacokinetic Analysis) |
| Result: | Showed the highest distribution to the liver and spleen (25.5-fold and 9.74-fold AUC ratio, respectively) with significantly higher T1/2. may not be accumulated even in the highly distributed tissues after the repeated administration of steppogenin. |
