Pterostilbene

A natural stilbenoid related to Resveratrol (Cat. No. 1758-100, 500). Displays anti-oxidative, anti-cancer, anti-hypercholesterolemia, and anti-hypertriglyceridemia properties. Pterostilbene alters gene expression in pancreatic cancer and increases the antiproliferative markers cytochrome C, Smac/DIABLO, and MnSOD/antioxidant activity. It was also shown to inhibit phosphorylated STAT3, a marker of accelerated tumorigenesis, and decrease pancreatic tumor growth in vivo.
