CAS 1253-84-5: Cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol
Description:Cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol is a steroid alcohol, specifically a triol, characterized by the presence of three hydroxyl (-OH) groups. It is derived from cholesterol and features a tetracyclic structure typical of steroids, with specific stereochemistry at the 3β, 5α, and 6β positions. This compound is typically solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. Cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol plays a role in various biological processes, including cell membrane structure and function, and may be involved in signaling pathways. Its hydroxyl groups contribute to its reactivity and potential interactions with other biomolecules. The compound is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to lipid metabolism and steroid biochemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many steroid compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may have biological effects that require further investigation.
