CAS 360-68-9

Coprostanol

Description:

Coprostanol, with the CAS number 360-68-9, is a sterol that is primarily derived from the microbial reduction of cholesterol in the intestines of mammals. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Coprostanol is characterized by its molecular formula, which consists of a steroid structure with a hydroxyl group, contributing to its classification as a sterol. This compound is often used as a biomarker in environmental studies, particularly in assessing fecal contamination in water bodies, as it is a significant component of human and animal waste. Additionally, coprostanol has been studied for its potential implications in human health, particularly in relation to gut microbiota and cholesterol metabolism. Its presence in various biological and environmental samples makes it an important compound for both ecological and health-related research.

Controlled Product

CAS: 360-68-9

Coprosterol is a molecule that is an intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol. It is found in human feces and can be isolated from soybean lipoxygenase. The hydroxy group on coprosterol has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on cancer cells, while its hydrophobic lipid tail allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier. Coprosterol has also been shown to be effective in treating cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and familial hypercholesterolemia when given orally or intravenously. This molecule is used as a diagnostic tool for particle size analysis because it fluoresces under ultraviolet light when excited by a laser beam.
