beta-Sitosterol
beta-Sitosterol, a main dietary phytosterol found in plants, may have the potential for prevention and therapy for human cancer. Phytosterols are plant sterols found in foods such as oils, nuts, and vegetables. Phytosterols, in the same way as cholesterol, contain a double bond and are susceptible to oxidation, and are characterized by anti-carcinogenic and anti-atherogenic properties (PMID:13129445, 11432711). beta-Sitosterol is a phytopharmacological extract containing a mixture of phytosterols, with smaller amounts of other sterols, bonded with glucosides. These phytosterols are commonly derived from the South African star grass, Hypoxis rooperi, or from species of Pinus and Picea. The purported active constituent is termed beta-sitosterol. Additionally, the quantity of beta-sitosterol-beta-D-glucoside is often reported. Although the exact mechanism of action of beta-sitosterols is unknown, it may be related to cholesterol metabolism or anti-inflammatory effects (via interference with prostaglandin metabolism). Compared with placebo, beta-sitosterol improved urinary symptom scores and flow measures (PMID:10368239). A plant food-based diet modifies the serum beta-sitosterol concentration in hyperandrogenic postmenopausal women. This finding indicates that beta-sitosterol can be used as a biomarker of exposure in observational studies or as a compliance indicator in dietary intervention studies of cancer prevention (PMID:14652381). beta-Sitosterol induces apoptosis and activates key caspases in MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells (PMID:12579296). Sitosterol is a member of the class of phytosterols that is stigmast-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3. It has a role as a sterol methyltransferase inhibitor, an anticholesteremic drug, an antioxidant, a plant metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 3beta-sterol, a stigmastane sterol, a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid, a C29-steroid and a member of phytosterols. It derives from a hydride of a stigmastane. Active fraction of Solanum trilobatum; reduces side-effects of radiation-induced toxicity. Beta-Sitosterol is a natural product found in Elodea canadensis, Ophiopogon intermedius, and other organisms with data available. beta-Sitosterol is one of several phytosterols (plant sterols) with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol. Sitosterols are white, waxy powders with a characteristic odor. They are hydrophobic and soluble in alcohols. beta-Sitosterol is found in many foods, some of which are ginseng, globe artichoke, sesbania flower, and common oregano.

Betavulgarin
Betavulgarin, also known as 2-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6,7-methylenedioxyisoflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as isoflavones. Isoflavones are polycyclic compounds containing a 2-isoflavene skeleton which bears a ketone group at the C4 carbon atom. Thus, betavulgarin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Betavulgarin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Betavulgarin can be found in chickpea, common beet, and red beetroot, which makes betavulgarin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Ethyl alpha-glucopyranoside
Ethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside is a constituent of Citrus peels, the fresh root cortex of Manihot esculenta (cassava), and other plant subspecies. Ethyl beta-D-glucopyranoside is found in many foods, some of which are root vegetables, citrus, alcoholic beverages, and fruits.

Irisone B
Irisone b, also known as 2,5-dihydroxy-6,7-methylenedioxyisoflavone, is a member of the class of compounds known as isoflavones. Isoflavones are polycyclic compounds containing a 2-isoflavene skeleton which bears a ketone group at the C4 carbon atom. Thus, irisone b is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Irisone b is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Irisone b can be found in common beet, which makes irisone b a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
