[CAS NO. 537-42-8]  Pterostilbene

Pterostilbene (0, 5, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 µM) shows inhibitory activity against the growth of HeLa cells, with IC ₅₀ s of 101.2 µM and 65.9 µM at 24 and 48 hrs, respectively. Ipterostilbene (0, 25, 100 and 200 µM) also induces the apoptosis HeLa cells ^[2] .
Pterostilbene (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mM) has high anti-oxidant activity against DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide in a dose-dependent manner. Pterostilbene decreases lipid peroxides and hydroperoxides, reduces protein carbonyl groups and restores protein sulphydryl groups in response to damage by TBHP and As-Fe ²⁺ . Pterostilbene also inhibits single strand breaks in pBR322 ^[4] .

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
