CAS 516-86-9

Fecosterol

Description:

Fecosterol, with the CAS number 516-86-9, is a sterol that is primarily derived from marine sources, particularly certain types of algae and fish. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform. Fecosterol is characterized by its steroid structure, which includes a hydroxyl group, contributing to its classification as a sterol. This compound plays a role in cellular membrane structure and function, similar to cholesterol in animals. Fecosterol has garnered interest in various fields, including biochemistry and pharmacology, due to its potential health benefits, such as cholesterol-lowering effects and antioxidant properties. Additionally, it is studied for its role in the biosynthesis of other biologically active compounds. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors, making it a subject of research in both natural product chemistry and nutritional science.
