Description

Ergosterol peroxide is a synthetic compound that binds to DNA and inhibits the growth of human cells. Ergosterol peroxide has been shown to have significant cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells in vitro, with inhibition of DNA synthesis and induction of apoptosis. Ergosterol peroxide also has amoebicidal activity against Acanthamoeba castellanii, which is an opportunistic pathogen of the central nervous system. This compound can be used as a pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of various diseases such as cancer, AIDS, or Alzheimer's disease. It may also be used as a natural compound to kill harmful pathogens in water.
