How can you use “sitosterol” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Eclipta prostrata and its constituents (wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol) showed good potential against crotalid venoms.

  • Stigmaterol and sitosterol were less effective than wedelolactone, but interacted synergistically with it [ 12 ] . These effects were interpreted as consequences of antiproteolytic and antiphospholipase A 2 activities of Eclipta prostrata and its constituents [ 12 ] . These three plant compounds have anti-inflammatory properties and are recognised anti-venom compounds [ 43 40 44 42 38 11 ] .

  • injection into adult Swiss mice [ 75 12 ] . Three plant compounds, wedelolactone, sitosterol and stigmasterol were able to neutralise lethal doses of the venom.

  • The in vitro myotoxicity of the crotalid venoms venoms ( Bothrops jararaca , Bothrops jararacussu and Lachesis muta ) and myotoxins (bothropstoxin, bothropasin and crotoxin) was neutralised by simultaneous exposure of isolated skeletal muscles to an aqueous extract of Eclipta prostrata or to wedelolactone, stigmaterol and sitosterol.

  • utilis) that produce a dose-related increase in the clotting time of blood induced by carpet viper venom ( Echis carinatus ) would be useful against bites from Bothrops species that cause haemorrhage at the point of injection due to the inhibition of the clotting mechanism [ 40 ] .

Many relevant compounds are widely distributed nitrogen-free, low molecular weight compounds (except aristolochic acid, an untypical non-basic, nitro-derivative) [ 38 ] . The structural similarities of certain plant chemicals found in plants used for snakebites are an isoflavone skeleton, acidic nature and dioxygenated functionality [ 44 ] .
