General description
A synthetic form of the guggul tree plant steroid that exhibits an ability to lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Acts as a selective antagonist of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and inhibits FXR transactivation (IC50 = 10 µM in the presence of 100 µM chenodeoxycholic acid). Does not activate or inhibit transactivation of liver X receptor α (LXRα), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ), or retinoid X receptor α (RXRα).

Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the onset and progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation have been proved to be the main reason for causing the neurodegenerative diseases. Ganoderic acid A (GAA), isolated from Ganoderma lucidum, showed anti-inflammatory effect in
