Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, and cholesterol-lowering characteristics are all displayed by stigmasterol.[20] Zhao demonstrated how stigmasterol inhibits the Akt/mTOR pathway in gastric cancer cells, which causes apoptosis while also defending against autophagy.[21] In a number of malignancies, stigmasterol has been found to have antitumor effects by encouraging apoptosis, preventing proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, and triggering autophagy in tumor cells. Here, MTOR is linked to neoplasm.
