Stigmasterol is an
unsaturated phytosterol belonging to the class of tetracyclic
triterpenes. It is one of the most common plant sterols, found in a
variety of natural sources, including vegetable fats or oils from
many plants. Currently, stigmasterol has been examined via in vitro
and in vivo assays and molecular docking for its various biological
activities on different metabolic disorders. The findings indicate
potent pharmacological effects such as anticancer,
anti-osteoarthritis, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic,
immunomodulatory, antiparasitic, antifungal, antibacterial,
antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties.
