Description

32-Hydroxylanosterol is a functionalized lanostane-type triterpenoid, representing a key oxidized derivative of lanosterol. This compound matters as a valuable intermediate in the synthesis of more complex steroidal molecules and for research into cholesterol biosynthesis and related metabolic pathways. It is needed by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and fine chemical manufacturers focused on steroid chemistry and drug discovery.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial building block for the semi-synthesis of novel steroidal drugs and bioactive compounds.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard and probe in studies of lanosterol metabolism, particularly in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway.
• Enzyme Inhibition Studies: Investigated for its potential interaction with enzymes like lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51).
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a starting material for the preparation of other hydroxylated lanostane derivatives with potential biological activity.
• Academic Research: Utilized in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry programs for teaching and method development in steroid functionalization.

Quality Control

Our 32-Hydroxylanosterol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider storage under an inert atmosphere.
