Product Overview
Description:
Sitostanol is a naturally occurring saturated phytosterol distributed across diverse grain resources, including corn, wheat, and rice. Characterized by its ability to interface with mixed micellar structures, this plant-derived sterol acts as a competitive inhibitor of cholesterol absorption within intestinal loop architectures, functioning to lower hepatic cholesterol accumulation and mitigate atheromatous lesion progression within vascular models.
Synonyms:
24α-ethyl Cholestanol; β-Sitostanol; Stigmastanol; dihydrositosterol; (5α)-stigmastan-3β-ol; 83-45-4
CAS No.:
83-45-4
Compound CID:
241572
Formula:
C29H52O
Formula Weight:
416.7
Specification
Solubility in Other Solvents:
Slightly soluble in chloroform.
Storage:
Storage at -20°C.
Applications:
Sitostanol is used in lipid metabolism research as a plant-derived sterol reference compound for investigating sterol composition, structural diversity, and cholesterol-related biochemical processes. It supports analytical profiling of sterol species and comparative studies examining the distribution and characteristics of saturated phytosterols.
