General description
5α,6α-epoxycholestanol (5α,6α-EC) is generated by cholesterol epoxidation. 5α,6α-epoxycholestanol-d7 is a deuterated derivative of 5α,6α-EC. It is catabolized by the enzyme cholesterol-5,6-epoxide hydrolase (ChEH) enzyme to 3β,5α,6β-triol.
Application
5α,6α-epoxycholestanol-d7 has been used as an internal standard in isotope dilution-mass spectrometry analysis of heart mitochondrial samples. It may be used as an internal standard in liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) analysis of plasma samples.
Biochem/physiol Actions
5α,6α-epoxycholestanol (5α,6α-EC) is a liver X receptor (LXR) antagonist. 5α,6α-EC is employed in anticancer treatments. It impairs redox state and affects atherogenesis. The levels of 5α,6α-EC are elevated in hypercholesterolemia. It mediates steroid receptor coactivator (SRC) recruitment.

5,6α-epoxycholesterol (5,6α-EC) and 5,6β-epoxycholesterol (5,6β-EC) are oxysterols involved in the anticancer pharmacology of the widely used antitumor drug tamoxifen. They are both metabolized into cholestane-3β,5α,6β-triol (CT) by the cholesterol-5,6-epoxide hydrolase (ChEH) enzyme, and CT is metabolized by an as-yet uncharacterized

Endothelial biomechanics is emerging as a key factor in endothelial function. Here, we address the mechanisms of endothelial stiffening induced by oxidized LDL (oxLDL) and investigate the role of oxLDL in lumen formation. We show that oxLDL-induced endothelial stiffening is

A major cause of cell death during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion is mitochondrial dysfunction. We previously showed that the reperfusion of an ischemic myocardium was associated with an accumulation of cholesterol into mitochondria and a concomitant strong generation of auto-oxidized oxysterols.
