Produktinformation

• Name: Cholestan-3β,5α,6β-triol
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Cholestan-3b,5a,6b-triol is a naturally occurring fatty acid that has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol and oxysterols in animal studies. It also acts as a receptor agonist for the LDL receptor. This compound is used in clinical trials to assess risk for cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), a rare genetic disorder characterized by high levels of cholesterol and fatty acids in the brain and spinal cord. Cholestan-3b,5a,6b-triol is being studied as a potential treatment for atherosclerosis. The drug inhibits the uptake of cholesterol from macrophages and reduces the accumulation of atherosclerotic lesions in mouse models. Cholestan-3b,5a,6b-triol may be useful for treating patients with diabetes because it blocks the synthesis of fatty acids that can lead to diabetic complications such as retinopathy and nephropathy.
