Description

Bile acids are essential for solubilization and transport of dietary lipids, are the major products of cholesterol catabolism, and are physiological ligands for farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear receptor that regulates genes involved in lipid metabolism.1 They are also inherently cytotoxic, as physiological imbalance contributes to increased oxidative stress.2,3 Bile acid-controlled signaling pathways are promising novel targets to treat such metabolic diseases as obesity, type II diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Guggulsterone, derived from resin of the guggul tree, is a competitive antagonist of FXR both in vitro and in vivo.4 The trans stereoisomer of guggulsterone, (Z)-guggulsterone, decreases chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA)-induced FXR activation with an IC50 value of 17 µM. 5,6 By inhibiting CDCA-induced transactivation of FXR, guggulsterone lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels in rodents fed a high cholesterol diet.4 While both cis and trans stereoisomers have been shown to directly decrease hepatic cholesterol, the Z isomer is the most studied. (Z)-Guggulsterone demonstrates antitumor-promoting effects inhibiting both constitutive and interleukin-6-induced STAT3 activation in human multiple myeloma cells and suppressing the VEGF-VEGF/R2-Akt signaling axis in DU145 human prostate cancer cells.7,8
