General description

Alkyne cholesterol is used to trace cholesterol metabolism and localization.
This reagent is a modified lipid containing an omega-terminal alkyne. The terminal alkyne group can be used in a highly specific linking reaction with azide-containing reagents, known as ‘click chemistry′, in the presence of a copper (Cu)-containing catalyst.

Biochem/physiol Actions

27-alkyne cholesterol acts similar to natural sterols such as, ergosterol and cholesterol.

Cholesterol is an important lipid of mammalian cells and plays a fundamental role in many biological processes. Its concentration in the various cellular membranes differs and is tightly regulated. Here, we present a novel alkyne cholesterol analog suitable for tracing

20-hydroxycholesterol is a signaling oxysterol with immunomodulating functions and, thus, structural analogues with reporter capabilities could be useful for studying and modulating the cellular processes concerned. We have synthesized three new 20-hydroxycholesterol-like pregn-5-en-3β-ol derivatives with fluorescent 7-nitrobenzofurazan (NBD) or Raman-sensitive
