Descripción

Application

5-α-Cholestane has been used:

• as an internal standard in gas phase chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify cholesterol in meat products for a comparison study
• to quantify the active compounds in the oils using a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer
• as a reference standard in GC analyses to quantify sterol content in the unsaponifiables obtained from oat lipids and different sterol standards like fucosterol, sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol

Biochem/physiol Actions

5α-Cholestane is a sterol produced endogenously from cholesterol and has been isolated from human feces. It is derived from cholesterol by the action of intestinal microorganisms. Derivatives of 5α-cholestane in plants are called brassinosteroids that selectively activate the PPI3K/Akt pathway.

Preparation Note

5α-Cholestane yields clear to slightly hazy, colorless to faint yellow solution in chloroform at 50 mg/ml.
