Stigmasterol
Stigmasterol is a phytosterol, meaning it is steroid derived from plants. As a food additive, phytosterols have cholesterol-lowering properties (reducing cholesterol absorption in intestines), and may act in cancer prevention. Phytosterols naturally occur in small amount in vegetable oils, especially soybean oil. One such phytosterol complex, isolated from vegetable oil, is cholestatin, composed of campesterol, stigmasterol, and brassicasterol, and is marketed as a dietary supplement. Sterols can reduce cholesterol in human subjects by up to 15\\%. The mechanism behind phytosterols and the lowering of cholesterol occurs as follows : the incorporation of cholesterol into micelles in the gastrointestinal tract is inhibited, decreasing the overall amount of cholesterol absorbed. This may in turn help to control body total cholesterol levels, as well as modify HDL, LDL and TAG levels. Many margarines, butters, breakfast cereals and spreads are now enriched with phytosterols and marketed towards people with high cholesterol and a wish to lower it. Stigmasterol is found to be associated with phytosterolemia, which is an inborn error of metabolism. Stigmasterol is a 3beta-sterol that consists of 3beta-hydroxystigmastane having double bonds at the 5,6- and 22,23-positions. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a 3beta-sterol, a stigmastane sterol, a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid and a member of phytosterols. It derives from a hydride of a stigmastane. Stigmasterol is a natural product found in Ficus auriculata, Xylopia aromatica, and other organisms with data available. Stigmasterol is a steroid derivative characterized by the hydroxyl group in position C-3 of the steroid skeleton, and unsaturated bonds in position 5-6 of the B ring, and position 22-23 in the alkyl substituent. Stigmasterol is found in the fats and oils of soybean, calabar bean and rape seed, as well as several other vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and unpasteurized milk. See also: Comfrey Root (part of); Saw Palmetto (part of); Plantago ovata seed (part of). Stigmasterol is an unsaturated plant sterol occurring in the plant fats or oils of soybean, calabar bean, and rape seed, and in a number of medicinal herbs, including the Chinese herbs Ophiopogon japonicus (Mai men dong) and American Ginseng. Stigmasterol is also found in various vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and unpasteurized milk.

Pinitol
D-pinitol is the D-enantiomer of pinitol. It has a role as a geroprotector and a member of compatible osmolytes. It is functionally related to a 1D-chiro-inositol. It is an enantiomer of a L-pinitol. Methylinositol has been used in trials studying the treatment of Dementia and Alzheimers Disease. D-Pinitol is a natural product found in Aegialitis annulata, Senna macranthera var. micans, and other organisms with data available. A member of the class of methyl myo-inositols that is cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5-pentol substituted by a methoxy group at position 6 (the 1R,2S,3S,4S,5S,6S-isomer). D-pinitol (3-O-Methyl-D-chiro-inositol) is a natural compound presented in several plants, like Pinaceae and Leguminosae plants. D-pinitol exerts hypoglycemic activity and protective effects in the cardiovascular system[1][2]. D-pinitol has antiviral and larvicidal activities[3].

22alpha-Hydroxyerythrodiol
22alpha-Hydroxyerythrodiol is found in fats and oils. 22alpha-Hydroxyerythrodiol is a constituent of Camellia sasanqua Constituent of Camellia sasanqua. 22alpha-Hydroxyerythrodiol is found in tea and fats and oils.
Camelliagenin A
Sapogenin from the seeds of Camellia japonica. Camelliagenin A is found in tea and fats and oils. Camelliagenin A is found in fats and oils. Sapogenin from the seeds of Camellia japonic
Methyl p-coumarate
Methyl p-coumarate, also known as 4-coumaric acid methyl ester, is a member of the class of compounds known as coumaric acid esters. Coumaric acid esters are aromatic compounds containing an ester derivative of coumaric acid. Methyl p-coumarate is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Methyl p-coumarate can be found in bamboo shoots and garden onion, which makes methyl p-coumarate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Methyl p-coumarate (Methyl 4-hydroxycinnamate), an esterified derivative of p-Coumaric acid (pCA), is isolated from the flower of Trixis michuacana var longifolia. Methyl p-coumarate could inhibit the melanin formation in B16 mouse melanoma cells. Methyl p-coumarate also has strong in vitro inhibitory effect on A. alternata and other pathogens[1][2].

Lignocerol
Lignoceryl alcohol, also known as tetracosanol or tetracosyl alcohol, is a member of the class of compounds known as fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are aliphatic alcohols consisting of a chain of a least six carbon atoms. Thus, lignoceryl alcohol is considered to be a fatty alcohol lipid molecule. Lignoceryl alcohol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). Lignoceryl alcohol can be synthesized from tetracosane. Lignoceryl alcohol can also be synthesized into 22-methyltetracosan-1-ol. Lignoceryl alcohol can be found in common hazelnut, which makes lignoceryl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Lignoceryl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, usually derived from the fatty acid Lignoceric acid .
