DeMethyldihydrolanosterol, with the CAS number 5241-24-7, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of sterols, which are organic molecules characterized by a multi-ring structure. This compound is a derivative of lanosterol, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of sterols in organisms. DeMethyldihydrolanosterol is notable for its structural modifications, specifically the removal of methyl groups, which can influence its biological activity and interactions. It is often studied in the context of cholesterol biosynthesis and the development of pharmaceuticals targeting cholesterol-related pathways. The compound may exhibit various biological activities, including potential roles in cell membrane structure and function, as well as implications in metabolic processes. Its solubility, stability, and reactivity can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other chemical species. As with many sterols, understanding its properties is crucial for applications in biochemistry and medicinal chemistry.
