Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Steviol is the aglycon derivative of steviol glycosides, which are natural sweeteners isolated from S. rebaudiana. Steviol inhibits human organic anion transporters (hOATs) in uptake assays using murine cells from the S2 segment of proximal tubules. Steviol glycosides enhance pancreatic beta-cell function and taste sensation by potentiation of TRPM5 channel activity.

Product Data
Biological target:
Steviol is selective for hOAT1 and hOAT3 over hOAT2 and hOAT4 (IC50s = 11.4, 36.5, 1,000, and 285 μM, respectively).
In vitro activity:
The inhibition of OAT-mediated transport by steviol could alter renal drug clearance. Steviol markedly inhibited substrate uptake in all S2hOAT cells. Steviol had low IC50 for hOAT1 (11.4 microM) and hOAT3 (36.5 microM) similar to that of probenecid, whereas IC50 for hOAT2 (1000 microM) and hOAT4 (285 microM) was much higher. Reference: Pharm Res. 2005 Jun;22(6):858-66. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15948029/
In vivo activity:
The toxicokinetics and metabolism of rebaudioside A, stevioside, and steviol were studied in rats to compare their effects. Results showed that these compounds were rapidly absorbed and eliminated, with similar patterns in plasma concentration over time. Metabolite profiles were similar, with steviol being the main component in plasma. The majority of radioactivity was excreted in feces, with minimal urinary excretion.
