 Use of Z-Guggulsterone


Z-guggulsterone, a constituent of Indian Ayurvedic medicinal plant Commiphora mukul, inhibits the growth of human prostate cancer cells by causing apoptosis. Z-guggulsterone inhibits angiogenesis by suppressing the VEGF–VEGF-R2–Akt signaling axis[1].

In Vitro Z-guggulsterone (10, 20 μM; 24 or 48 hours) causes a decrease in the level of VEGF-R2 protein in HUVEC[1]. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Line: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) Concentration: 10, 20 μM Incubation Time: 24 or 48 hours Result: Caused a decrease in the level of VEGF-R2 protein in HUVEC.
In Vivo Z-guggulsterone (oral; 1 mg; 5 times/week) results in a statistically significantly decrease in tumor volume and wet tumor weight[1]. Animal Model: Male nude mice (5–6 weeks old) s.c. implanted with DU145 cell-containing Matrigel plugs Dosage: 1 mg Administration: Oral; 5 times/week Result: Resulted in a statistically significantly decrease in tumor volume and wet tumor weight.
