Description:

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

Hecogenin is a steroidal sapogenin derived primarily from Agave species and used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of corticosteroids and other steroid hormones. It exhibits diverse pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticancer, and gastroprotective effects. Mechanistically, hecogenin modulates cytokine production, nitric oxide pathways, and selectively inhibits human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases involved in xenobiotic metabolism.
