Biological Activity
Daucosterol can protect mice against disseminated candidiasis by the CD4+ Th1 immune response.[1]
Daucosterol has proliferation-enhancing activity for neural stem cells (NSCs), may be involved in IGF1-AKT pathway, and it as an efficient and inexpensive growth factor alternative that could be used in clinical medicine and research applications.[2]
Daucosterol exhibits moderate antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.[3]
Daucosterol can inhibit cancer cell proliferation by inducing autophagy through reactive oxygen species-dependent manner.[4]
Daucosterol has neuroprotective activity, could be potentially developed as a medicine for ischemic stroke treatment, can significantly reduce neuronal loss, as well as apoptotic rate and caspase-3 activity, increase the expression level of protein, diminish the down-regulation of p-AKT3 and p-GSK-3β4, thus activating the AKT5 signal pathway, diminish the down-regulation of the anti-apoptotic proteins Mcl-16 and Bcl-27, and decrease the expression level of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax8, thus raising the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax.[5]
Daucosterol has anti-cancer and apoptotic effects in human colon cancer cell line HCT-116, at different doses induces cell cycle arrest at sub-G1 phase of the cell cycle.[6]
