Cycloartenol（Cat No.:I017287）is a triterpenoid compound and an important precursor in the biosynthesis of sterols and triterpenes in plants. It serves as a key intermediate in the pathway that converts squalene into various phytosterols, including cholesterol, sitosterol, and stigmasterol. Cycloartenol possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, contributing to its protective effects in plants against environmental stress. It has also been studied for its potential health benefits, including anti-cancer, antimicrobial, and cholesterol-lowering effects. Cycloartenol is valuable for research into plant metabolism, sterol biosynthesis, and natural product pharmacology.
