Common_NameGuggulsterone
DescriptionGuggulsterone is an ingredient in many nutritional supplements. Guggulsterone is a plant sterol derived from the gum resin (guggulu) of the tree Commiphora mukul. This sterol can inhibit NF-κB activation and downregulate the expression of inflammatory gene products such as COX-2 and MMP-9, which are major players in the development of arthritis. Guggulsterone also can suppress osteoclastogenesis induced by RANKL (receptor activator of NF-κB ligand), a bone-resorbing cytokine. The anti-inflammatory activity of C. mukul (guggul) has been compared with that of NSAIDs, namely phenylbutazone and ibuprofen. Guggulsterone is used to treat obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, and osteoarthritis, and has been recently shown to antagonize the farnesoid X receptor and decrease the expression of bile acid-activated genes. It modulates activation of NF-kappaB, which has been closely linked with inflammatory diseases affected by guggulsterone. (PMID: 17475558, 15322087)
