Pterostilbene
Pterostilbene (CAS: 537-42-8) is a naturally occurring stilbenoid identified in extracts derived from the plant Pterocarpus indicus. Structurally related to resveratrol, it demonstrates improved bioavailability and enhanced biological activity. Mechanistically, pterostilbene exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties, primarily mediated through activation of sirtuins and modulation of cell-signaling pathways such as NF-κB, AMPK, and PI3K/Akt. Due to these activities, pterostilbene is widely utilized in biochemical research exploring cellular aging, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cancer biology. Storage is recommended under airtight conditions in cool, dry environments.
