CAS 474-60-2: Campestanol
Description:Campestanol, with the CAS number 474-60-2, is a phytosterol, a type of plant sterol that is structurally similar to cholesterol. It is derived from the plant sterol campesterol and is commonly found in various vegetable oils and fats. Campestanol is characterized by its steroid structure, which consists of four fused carbon rings. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. This compound is known for its potential health benefits, particularly in cholesterol management, as it can help lower LDL cholesterol levels when included in the diet. Additionally, campestanol exhibits antioxidant properties and may contribute to cardiovascular health. Its use in dietary supplements and functional foods is gaining attention due to its role in promoting heart health and overall wellness. However, as with any supplement, it is important to consider dosage and individual health conditions before use.
