Applications Lanosterol is a sterol cholesterol precursor that maintains a stable concentration in the cortex of rats during aging however concentrations of Lanosterol increases in the liver during aging. Lanosterol is found in Mushroom Inonotus obliquus (I.obliquus) which is known to have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.

Applications Squalene 2,3:22,23-Dioxide is formed from the epoxidation of 2,3-oxidosqualene, by squalene epoxidase. Squalene 2,3:22,23-Dioxide is accumulated intracellularly during the inhibition of cholesterol biosynthesis in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Applications Madecassic Acid is a terpenoid with an ursane skeleton isolated from Centella asiatica. Madecassic Acid displays anti-inflammatory properties as a result of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 inhibition via the downregulation of NF-kappaB activation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. Madecassic Acid is found in cosmetic products due to its skin-protective activities.

Applications Withanolide A, is a neuritogenic steroid. It may act as deterrent for feeding insect larva and other herbivores. Withaferin A, causes activation of Notch2 and Notch4 in human breast cancer cells, and thus used as novel anticancer agents.

Applications A hydroxylated psoralen that inhibits neutrophil infiltration and brain edema induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. A potentially useful antiarrhythmic agent. It has been shown to be effective in the prevention of ventricular fibrillation of mice induced by chloroform, of rats induced by calcium chloride, and in treatment of rat arrhythmia induced by aconitine. Recent studies show that it may also have antioxidant and anticancer activities.
