Beschreibung

Dihydrolanosterol is a natural compound that inhibits the activities of a certain enzyme and is associated with cholesterol metabolism. It was shown to inhibit the activity of the enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase that converts lanosterol to cholesterol, which may be due to its ability to bind to the active site of this enzyme. Dihydrolanosterol has been found in human serum, suggesting it may play an important role in body formation. The inhibition of this enzyme by dihydrolanosterol leads to reduced levels of cellular cholesterol and may also have anti-inflammatory effects.
Dihydrolanosterol has been shown to inhibit the epoxidase activity in HL-60 cells, which is responsible for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. This inhibition leads to reduced production of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory mediators involved in multiple diseases including asthma, arthritis, and cancer.
