5,8-Epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3-ol

5,8-Epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3-ol (9,11-Dehydroergosterol peroxide), an important steroid from medicinal mushroom, exerts antitumor activity in several tumor types. 5,8-Epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3-ol inhibits HT29 cell growth by inducing CDKN1A expression, thus causing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis[1][2].

Microbial Metabolite

5,8-Epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3-ol (9,11-Dehydroergosterol peroxide) is an effective inhibitor of HL60 leukemia cell growth and apoptosis-inducer[1]. Apoptosis induced by 5,8-Epidioxyergosta-6,9(11),22-trien-3-ol from Ganoderma Lucidum mycelium in human malignant melanoma cells is Mcl‑1 dependent[2].
