CAS 4025-59-6: 5β,6β-Epoxycholesterol

Description: 5β,6β-Epoxycholesterol is a steroid compound derived from cholesterol, characterized by the presence of an epoxide functional group at the 5β and 6β positions of the steroid nucleus. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and methanol, but has limited solubility in water. It plays a significant role in biological systems, particularly in the context of cholesterol metabolism and cellular signaling. As an epoxide, it can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic attacks, which may lead to the formation of other biologically relevant molecules. 5β,6β-Epoxycholesterol is of interest in pharmacological research due to its potential effects on cell membranes and its role in the synthesis of other sterols. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities that influence lipid metabolism and cellular processes. Safety data indicates that, like many steroid compounds, it should be handled with care in laboratory settings due to potential health risks associated with exposure.
