Description

24,25-Dihydrolanosterol is a key sterol derivative and an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other steroids. This compound matters for its role as a critical precursor in research focused on cholesterol metabolism, enzyme inhibition studies, and the development of novel therapeutic agents. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories, academic research institutions, and manufacturers of fine chemicals and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for use in metabolic pathway analysis and synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: As a crucial intermediate in the study of cholesterol biosynthesis and lanosterol metabolism.
• Enzyme Inhibition Studies: Used to investigate the activity of enzymes like lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) in sterol pathways.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for quality control and method development in chromatographic analysis (HPLC, GC).
• Biochemical Synthesis: A key starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex steroid analogs and potential drug candidates.
• Academic Research: Utilized in universities and institutes for fundamental studies on lipid biochemistry and cellular metabolism.
• Fine Chemical Production: An important building block for manufacturers specializing in custom sterols and high-value chiral intermediates.
