AdipoGen Diosgenin (100 g)
Supplier: AdipoGen CDXD0536G100
Chemical. CAS: 512-04-9. Formula: C27H42O3. MW: 414.62. Diosgenin, a well-known steroid sapogenin derived from plants, has been used as a starting material for commercial synthesis of cortisone, pregnenolone, progesterone, and other steroid products. Diosgenin has shown many pharmacological activities. It exhibits anticancer, hypocholesterolemic, anti-diabetic, neuroprotective, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, estrogenic, and skin protective effects. This is mainly by inducing apoptosis, suppressing malignant transformation, decreasing oxidative stress, preventing inflammatory events, promoting cellular differentiation/proliferation, and regulating T-cell immune response. It interferes with cell death pathways and their regulators to induce apoptosis. Diosgenin antagonizes tumor metastasis by modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition and actin cytoskeleton to change cellular motility, suppressing degradation of matrix barrier, and inhibiting angiogenesis.
