Z-Guggulsterone is a bioactive phytosteroid that functions as a selective antagonist of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), inhibiting FXR transactivation and modulating bile acid signaling. It also acts as an inhibitor of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) pathway. In neuroscience, Z-Guggulsterone has shown potential in attenuating astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation by suppressing the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) pathway. This anti-inflammatory activity positions it as a candidate for further investigation in neurodegenerative disease models where glial activation and chronic inflammation are key pathological features.
