Packaging

10, 50 mg in glass bottle

Preparation Note

Stevioside solutions should be prepared in DMSO. Highly pure stevioside has very poor water solubility.

Application

Stevioside-induced ROS-mediated apoptosis was studied in human breast cancer cells.^[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Stevioside is a noncaloric natural sweetener, 300 times more potent than sucrose. It inhibits transepithelial transport of p-aminohippurate (PAH) by interfering with the organic anion transport system. At 0.5-1 mM, it showed no interaction with any organic anion transporters (OAT).

Stevioside reportedly has genotoxic effects in cultured mammalian cells.^[2][1][3]
