Ergosterol is the primary sterol found in fungi, with antioxidative, anti-proliferative, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Ergosterol is a sterol isolated from Grifola frondosa, which can be used in the research of mast cell-dependent allergic diseases. Ergosterol (10, 20, 50 μM) inhibits the antigen-induced release of β-hexosaminidase and histamine in antigen-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. Ergosterol (20 and 50 μM) significantly reduces the mRNA levels of of IL-4 and TNF-α. Ergosterol (50 μM) inhibits the antigen-induced aggregation of FcεRI[1].

Ergosterol (25, 50 mg/kg, p.o.) significantly mitigates the reduced cardiac performance in rats induced by LPS, increases SOD activity and decreases the formation of MDA, CK-MB, and LDH in LPS-induced sepsis rats[2].
