Overview

24-Epibrassinolide (Epibrassinolide) is a member of the brassinosteroid family, a steroid-derived plant growth regulator involved in metabolic manipulation and protection from environmental stress. It is a natural polyhydroxysteroid with structural similarity to the steroid hormones found in vertebrates. Epibrassinolides can promote cell division and expansion. Epibrassinolide was found to interfere with polyamine biosynthetic and catabolic pathways, causing a reduction in polyamine levels and inducing apoptosis in various cancer cells.
24-Epibrassinolide is soluble in organic solvents but is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers.Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
Background
Epibrassinolide is able to offer protection from environmental stress by increasing metabolism or removal of toxic substances such as pesticides or heavy metals. Epibrassinolide can target polyamine metabolism which is having promise in human cancers. The compound can reduce intracellular polyamine levels which causes apoptotic cell death in tumor models. It can also influence stress-related molecules.
