Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-Sitosterol
Descriptionbeta-Sitosterol, also known as sitosterol or a-phytosterol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stigmastanes and derivatives. These are sterol lipids with a structure based on the stigmastane skeleton, which consists of a cholestane moiety bearing an ethyl group at the carbon atom C24. Thus, beta-sitosterol is considered to be a sterol. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on beta-Sitosterol.
