| Targets |
A predicted target of Delta5-Avenasterol is acetylcholinesterase based on molecular docking studies. Molecular docking studies have demonstrated that Delta5-avenasterol exhibits high binding affinity with acetylcholinesterase (PDB ID: 4EY7), suggesting its potential as an AChE inhibitor for combating Alzheimer‘s disease. This compound belongs to stigmastanes and derivatives, a class of sterol lipids based on the stigmastane skeleton bearing an ethyl group at the carbon atom C24.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Delta5-Avenasterol has been reported to possess antioxidant activity. Its rigid sterane nucleus supports membrane ordering while the side-chain ethyl group enhances hydrophobic interaction, contributing to reduced bilayer permeability and increased thermal stability. As a natural component of plant cell membranes, Delta5-avenasterol participates in the regulation of sterol-phospholipid interactions and lipid raft organization.
|
| ln Vivo |
The compound has primarily been evaluated through computational methods. Molecular docking studies suggest that Delta5-avenasterol exhibits high binding affinity with acetylcholinesterase, though this finding requires further validation through in vivo experiments

| Cell Assay |
As a phytosterol, this compound can be expected to exhibit membrane-modulating activity. Due to its extremely low water solubility (approximately 1.4×10⁻⁶ g/L at 25°C), appropriate solvents (such as DMSO or ethanol) are required to aid dissolution for cell-based experiments. For cell-based studies, it is recommended to first conduct viability pre-experiments to determine appropriate working concentration ranges.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
The pharmacokinetic properties of Delta5-Avenasterol are primarily evaluated through computational predictions. The predicted logP value is approximately 7.44-7.6, indicating high lipophilicity. Water solubility is extremely low, with a predicted logS of approximately -6.7 and a solubility of approximately 1.4×10⁻⁶ g/L at 25°C. The topological polar surface area (TPSA) is 20.23 Ų, with 1 hydrogen bond donor and 1 hydrogen bond acceptor. The compound has 5 rotatable bonds and 30 heavy atoms. This compound does not satisfy Lipinski‘s rule of five, primarily due to parameters such as molecular weight, logP, and hydrogen bond donor count exceeding the limits.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The predicted pKa value is approximately 15.03±0.70, indicating that this compound is an extremely weak acidic compound. As a naturally occurring phytosterol, it is considered to have low toxicity risk at conventional exposure levels. This compound is listed as “expected but not quantified” in the Human Metabolome Database. It is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
