Laxogenin does indeed have some pretty profound anti-inflammatory effects. In addition to being able to be synthesized from Diosgenin, it is a component of smilax sieboldii. Laxogenin is a steroidal sapogenin isolated from Smilax sieboldi. As a spirostanic analogue of the brassinosteroid - teasterone, Laxogenin is noted for it's growth promoting activity [in plants]. It has also been demonstrated to acquire [cytotoxic] properties however, to what degree, I am not sure.
A zymogen is the inactive precursor of an enzyme. The molecule is composed of amino acids strung together into a peptide. When the zymogen is in the presence of an enzyme specifically designed to breakdown peptides, called a protease, some of the amino acids are removed.This cleavage renders the zymogen a functional enzyme by changing the shape of the peptide and forming the active site where enzymatic action will occur.hen the zymogen is in the presence of an enzyme specifically designed to breakdown peptides, called a protease, some of the amino acids are removed.
