Comment: Beta-Sitosterol is a phytosterol. It has been detected in plants including Solanum trilobatum, Sambucus chinensis and Erythrophleum fordii. Direct interaction with the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) has been determined by molecular docking, and confirmed by FXR activation in a luciferase reporter assay [2]. This action mediates a protective effect against hepatotoxicity and cholestasis in vivo.
