(-)-(E)-Guggulsterone(Cat No.:R072736)is a naturally occurring plant sterol derived from the resin of Commiphora mukul (guggul), traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. It functions as an antagonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor involved in bile acid and cholesterol metabolism. By modulating FXR activity, (-)-(E)-Guggulsterone influences lipid homeostasis, potentially lowering cholesterol levels and supporting cardiovascular health. Additionally, it exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties, making it a subject of interest in metabolic and therapeutic research. Its multifaceted bioactivity positions it as a promising compound for drug development and disease modulation.
