Biochem/physiol Actions

(Z)-Guggulsterone is a natural product that lowers cholesterol due to its function as an antagonist ligand for the bile acid receptor. (Z)-Guggulsterone is a nuclear hormone receptor that regulates the transcription of several genes involved in cholesterol metabolism and plays a role in cholesterol level regulation. (Z)-Guggulsterone is also a selective farnesoid X receptor (FXR) modulator.

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for simultaneous determination of E- and Z-guggulsterone isomers (antihyperlipidemic drug) in rabbit plasma. Both the isomers were resolved on a Symmetry-Shield C(18) (5 µm, 4.6 × 150 mm) column, using gradient
