Other Name: (24S)-24-Ethylcholesta-5,25(27)-diene-3β-ol; (24S)-25,26-Didehydro-24-ethylcholesterol
CAS No.: 2364-23-0
Chemical Structure:
Clerosterol Application:
Clerosterol is a naturally occurring phytosterol, commonly found in certain algae and higher plants. It belongs to the class of plant-derived sterols and is structurally similar to β-sitosterol and stigmasterol. Due to its sterol backbone, it is of interest in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, particularly in research and formulation development. Key Application Areas:
1. Functional Food & Nutrition Research
Investigated as a cholesterol-lowering agent due to its structural similarity to other phytosterols.
2. Cosmetic Formulations
Acts as an emollient or skin-conditioning agent due to its lipid-like structure.
3. Phytochemical Research & Analytical Use
Serves as a reference sterol in lipidomics, phytosterol profiling, and plant metabolite analysis.
Applied in natural compound libraries, particularly for sterol-related screening or synthesis studies.
4. Sterol-Based Intermediate or Derivative Research
Can be used as a precursor or analog in semi-synthetic modification studies involving plant sterols.
