Focusing on Keap1, IKKβ, and Bcl2 proteins: predicted targets of stigmasterol in neurodegeneration
13 Feb 2025
Abstract excerpt
Oxidative stress, driven by excess ROS, damages lipids, proteins, and DNA, leading to neuronal apoptosis and inflammation, a key factor in neurodegenerative diseases. This study explored stigmasterol, a bioactive phytosterol, with neuroprotective potential, revealing strong docking interactions, especially with Keap1 (binding energy of -11.62 Kcal/mol). Stigmasterol formed two hydrogen bonds with Ile258 and...
