Beta-Cortol is an O-glycosylated compound and cortisol metabolite, isolated from the leaves of mulberry cultivar Yu 711. Its concentration significantly decreases when the plant is subjected to drought stress. It functions as a biomarker, as serum Beta-Cortol levels in early non-small cell lung cancer models are downregulated to 1/8 of the preoperative level after tumor resection. Due to these notable changes under specific pathological conditions, Beta-Cortol is broadly utilized in studies concerning early non-small cell lung cancer.
