A Cholesterol metabolite. Lathosterol (indicating cholesterol synthesis) and Sitosterol (indicating cholesterol absorption) also decreased with deteriorating health. Low Lathosterol, Sitosterol and Cholesterol predicted mortality additively and independently of each other. Synonyms: (3beta,5alpha)-Cholest-7-en-3-ol, 5alpha-Cholest-7-en-3beta-ol, 3beta-Hydroxy-5alpha-cholest-7-ene, 7-En-3-cholestanol, Cholest-7-en-3-ol, Lathosterol, delta7-Cholestenol, gamma-Cholestenol CAS No: 80-99-9 Molecular Formula: C27H46O Molecular Weight: 386.65 Purity (HPLC): 98% Appearance: White to off-white solid Melting Point: 121-123C (lit) Solubility: Chloroform (Slightly), Ethyl Acetate (Slightly) Method for Determining Identity: Proton NMR Spectroscopic and Mass Spectrometric Analysis TLC Conditions: SiO2, Dichloromethane: Ethyl Acetate=9:1, Visualized with UV and AMCS, Single Spot, Rf=0.35 Specific Rotation (c=0.1, Chloroform): As Reported Storage and Stability: May be stored at RT for short-term only.
