CAS 128-33-6

Zymosterol

Description:

Zymosterol, with the CAS number 128-33-6, is a sterol compound that plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of sterols and is often found in various biological systems, particularly in fungi and yeast. It is a precursor in the synthesis of ergosterol, which is a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Zymosterol is characterized by its steroid structure, featuring a hydroxyl group that contributes to its solubility and reactivity. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Zymosterol exhibits biological activity and has been studied for its potential effects on cell membrane integrity and function. Additionally, it may have implications in pharmacology and biochemistry, particularly in the context of antifungal research and the study of lipid metabolism. Its role as a biochemical intermediate makes it an important subject of study in both industrial and academic research settings.
