Chemical Information
FooDB Namezymostenol
Description5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol, also known as cholestenol or zymostenol, belongs to cholesterols and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Thus, 5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol can be found in a number of food items such as american pokeweed, breadfruit, chinese broccoli, and gooseberry, which makes 5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. In humans, 5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol is involved in several metabolic pathways, some of which include zoledronate action pathway, risedronate action pathway, pamidronate action pathway, and desmosterolosis. 5a-cholest-8-en-3b-ol is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include CHILD syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, chondrodysplasia punctata II, X linked dominant (CDPX2), and wolman disease.
