General description

Stigmasterol is a plant sterol that comprises an unsaturated bond between C22 and C23. It is found in foods like margarines and yogurts. Stigmasterol is synthesized from the mevalonate pathway and is present during development stages in plants.

Application

Stigmasterol has been used as a phytosterol compound to test its anti-proliferative property in breast cancer cell culture and its effect on liver X receptor-α (LXRA) activation. It may be used as an internal standard for the quantification of yeast cell wall sterols using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and in the preparation of lipid monolayers.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Stigmasterol possesses anti-inflammatory anti-hypercholestrolemic, antitumor and antioxidant functionality. It plays a crucial role in the activation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase and cell proliferation. Variations in stigmasterol and its precursor are noticeable at both the seed and whole plant developmental stages. Stigmasterol may be involved in gravitropism and tolerance to abiotic stress.

In this work miscibility and interactions of sterols with choline plasmalogen (PC-plasm) in Langmuir monolayers were studied. Moreover, the properties of cholesterol/phosphatidylcholine/plasmalogen mixtures of different PC-plasm concentration were investigated. The foregoing systems were treated as a model of cancer cell

A direct role for cholesterol signaling in mammals is clearly established; yet, the direct role in signaling for a plant sterol or sterol precursor is unclear. Fluctuations in sitosterol and stigmasterol levels during development and stress conditions suggest their involvement

Low fruit and vegetable consumption and high saturated fat consumption causes elevated circulating cholesterol and are breast cancer risk factors. During cholesterol metabolism, oxysterols form that bind and activate the liver X receptors (LXRs). Oxysterols halt breast cancer cell proliferation
