CAS 481-20-9
:coprostane crystalline
Description:
Coprostane crystalline, with the CAS number 481-20-9, is a steroid compound that is classified as a type of sterol. It is derived from the biological degradation of cholesterol and is primarily found in fecal matter, hence its name. This compound is characterized by its crystalline structure, which can be observed under specific conditions. Coprostane is typically insoluble in water but may dissolve in organic solvents, reflecting its hydrophobic nature. Its molecular structure features a fused ring system, characteristic of steroids, which contributes to its biological activity and stability. Coprostane is of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and environmental science, as it can serve as a biomarker for fecal contamination and is involved in studies related to lipid metabolism. Additionally, its presence in sediments can provide insights into past environmental conditions and the dietary habits of organisms. Overall, coprostane crystalline is a significant compound for understanding both biological processes and environmental assessments.
