Metabolite Identification
Common Name4,4-Dimethyl-5a-cholesta-8-en-3b-ol
Description4,4-Dimethyl-5a-cholesta-8-en-3b-ol, also known as 3b-hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-8(9)-cholestene or 4,4-dimethyl-3b-hydroxy-8(9)-cholestene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triterpenoids. These are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Thus, 4,4-dimethyl-5a-cholesta-8-en-3b-ol is considered to be a sterol. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4,4-Dimethyl-5a-cholesta-8-en-3b-ol.
