β-Sitosterol β-D-glucoside is a phytosterol glycoside, which is primarily derived from plant sources such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. As a natural component of plant cell membranes, it exhibits bioactive properties. The compound functions by modulating cholesterol metabolism and has anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. It achieves this by interfering with the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and modulating the activity of enzymes involved in its metabolism.

Reduced form of lanosterone

Formononetin-7-O-gentiobioside is an isoflavonoid glycoside, which is a type of naturally occurring compound often found in plants, specifically in the Fabaceae family. This compound is primarily sourced from various legumes and has been studied for its potential bioactive properties due to its unique chemical structure. The mode of action of formononetin-7-O-gentiobioside involves its interaction with biological pathways, where it may exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or estrogen-like activities, similar to other isoflavonoids. These interactions are significant in modulating cellular pathways that can contribute to various physiological effects.

Estriol is a steroidal estrogen, which is a naturally occurring hormone primarily sourced from the placenta during pregnancy. Its mode of action involves binding to estrogen receptors, thereby exerting its effects as part of the broader group of estrogens. Estriol has a relatively lower affinity for estrogen receptors compared to estradiol, contributing to its unique pharmacological profile.In scientific research and clinical settings, Estriol is employed in hormone replacement therapy, especially in postmenopausal women, due to its milder estrogenic effects and lower associated risks compared to other estrogens. It is also studied for its potential benefits in urogynecological health, such as the treatment of menopausal symptoms like vaginal atrophy. Furthermore, its application is under investigation for autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, given its immunomodulatory properties. Ongoing research aims to delineate the therapeutic potential and safety profile of Estriol in various clinical contexts.

Withaferin A is a bioactive compound, which is a steroidal lactone with antiproliferative properties. It is derived from the medicinal plant *Withania somnifera*, commonly known as Ashwagandha. Withaferin A exerts its effects by modulating various signaling pathways, including the inhibition of NF-kB and induction of oxidative stress, which lead to apoptotic cell death in cancer cells and reduced inflammation.

Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione is a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which is a synthetic compound derived from modifications of naturally occurring steroid structures. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of the aromatase enzyme. Aromatase catalyzes the conversion of androgens into estrogens, a critical step in the biosynthesis of estrogens. By inhibiting this enzyme, Androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione effectively reduces estrogen levels, which can be of particular interest in research environments exploring the role of estrogens in various biological processes.
