Guggulsterone-(Z) (39025-23-5) is a natural steroid from Commiphora mukul extract (guggulipid) which lowers cholesterol and acts as an FXR antagonist.1 Attenuates astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation.2  Induces differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to dopaminergic neurons.3 Produces antidepressant-like effects via activation of the BDNF signaling pathway in mouse models.4
