CAS 122241-86-5: CHOLESTANE-3,3-D2

Description: Cholestane-3,3-D2 is a deuterated derivative of cholestane, a saturated hydrocarbon that is a key component of cholesterol and other sterols. The presence of deuterium atoms, indicated by the "D2" in its name, suggests that two hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, which is a stable isotope of hydrogen. This modification can enhance the compound's stability and alter its physical properties, making it useful in various research applications, particularly in studies involving nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Cholestane itself is characterized by a rigid, multi-cyclic structure that contributes to its biological functions and interactions within cell membranes. The specific isotopic labeling in Cholestane-3,3-D2 allows for tracking and studying metabolic pathways, interactions, and dynamics in biological systems. As with many deuterated compounds, it may also exhibit different solubility and reactivity compared to its non-deuterated counterparts, making it a valuable tool in organic and medicinal chemistry research.
