Research Excerpts

Compound-Compound Interactions

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the anticancer activity of fucosterol alone and in combination with 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) on two human CRC cell lines (HCT116 and HT29) and compared with cytotoxicity in one normal colon fibroblast cell line (CCD-18co) in monolayer (2D)."( Cytotoxic activity of the seaweed compound fucosterol, alone and in combination with 5-fluorouracil, in colon cells using 2D and 3D culturing.

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
" Analysis of 24-h lymph collections by GLC-mass spectrometry demonstrated that all three sterols were poorly absorbed to the extent of only 3 to 4% of the administered dose of 50 mg."( Comparative lymphatic absorption of sitosterol, stigmasterol, and fucosterol and differential inhibition of cholesterol absorption.

Drug Classes (1)

ClassDescription
steroidAny of naturally occurring compounds and synthetic analogues, based on the cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene carbon skeleton, partially or completely hydrogenated; there are usually methyl groups at C-10 and C-13, and often an alkyl group at C-17. By extension, one or more bond scissions, ring expansions and/or ring contractions of the skeleton may have occurred. Natural steroids are derived biogenetically from squalene which is a triterpene.
