The chemical substance known as (3beta,5xi,9xi,13xi,14xi,16beta,17xi,18xi,21beta)-hopane-3,6,16,22-tetrol, with the CAS number 22550-76-1, is a polyol derived from hopane, a triterpenoid structure commonly found in various natural sources, including certain plants and fossil fuels. This compound features multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which contribute to its solubility in water and its potential reactivity in biochemical processes. The presence of multiple stereocenters indicates that it can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, which may influence its biological activity and interactions. The specific arrangement of hydroxyl groups and the hopane backbone suggest that it may play a role in biological systems, possibly as a signaling molecule or in metabolic pathways. Additionally, its structural complexity may allow for various applications in pharmaceuticals or biochemistry, although detailed studies would be necessary to fully elucidate its properties and potential uses.

Mollugogenol A is a Gammacerane from Mollugo pentaphylla. It is an antifungal saponin that has spermatocidal activity and involves sperm membrane damage by increased lipid peroxidation.
