    Product Description

    Friedelin is a phytosterol that has been found in L. eriocalyx and has diverse biological activities.1,2 It scavenges DPPH (Item No. 14805) radicals in a cell-free assay (IC50 = 21.1 mM).1 Friedelin is toxic to mosquito larvae and adults (LC50s = 456.99 and 891.23 µg/ml, respectively).2 It decreases the proliferation of P. falciparum (IC50 = 250.7 ng/ml). In vivo, friedelin (40 mg/kg per day) reduces serum levels of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), alanine transaminase (ALT), and lactate dehydrogenase (Ldh) and increases hepatic levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (Cat), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) in a rat model of liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
