Δ7-Campesterol

Description:

Δ7-Campesterol is a phytosterol, a type of plant sterol that is structurally similar to cholesterol. It is characterized by its specific molecular structure, which includes a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene core with a double bond at the Δ7 position. This compound is typically found in various plant sources, particularly in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. Δ7-Campesterol plays a significant role in plant physiology and is known for its potential health benefits in humans, including cholesterol-lowering effects and anti-inflammatory properties. It is often studied for its role in modulating lipid metabolism and its potential to improve cardiovascular health. The compound is generally recognized as safe for consumption and is utilized in dietary supplements and functional foods. Its solubility properties are influenced by its sterol structure, making it more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Overall, Δ7-Campesterol is an important compound in both nutrition and biochemistry, contributing to our understanding of plant-derived substances and their effects on human health.

Fungisterol

CAS: 516-78-9

Fungisterol is a phytosterol, which is a naturally occurring compound derived from plant sources. Its mode of action involves disrupting cellular integrity by interfering with the synthesis of essential sterols within fungal cell membranes, thereby impairing their functionality and growth. This disruption leads to increased cell membrane permeability, eventually resulting in cell lysis and death of the fungal organism.
