    24-Epibrassinolide (Epibrassinolide) is a member of the brassinosteroid family, a steroid-derived plant growth regulator involved in metabolic manipulation and protection from environmental stress. It is a natural polyhydroxysteroid with structural similarity to the steroid hormones found in vertebrates.  Epibrassinolides can promote cell division and expansion.  Epibrassinolide was found to interfere with polyamine biosynthetic and catabolic pathways, causing a reduction in polyamine levels and inducing apoptosis in various cancer cells. 

    24-Epibrassinolide is soluble in organic solvents but is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers.
