sitosterol-d7
(24-ethyl)-heptadeuteriostigmast-5-en-3ß-ol
Sitosterol-d7 is a deuterated derivative of β-sitosterol, a naturally occurring phytosterol found in plants, regulating the embryonic phase. Phytosterols, including beta-sitosterol-d7 (mixture of diastereomers), share structural similarities with cholesterol—and are known for their potential health benefits, particularly in cholesterol metabolism and cardiovascular health.
The "d7" in sitosterol-d7 indicates that seven hydrogen atoms in the molecule have been replaced with deuterium, a stable, non-radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Like beta-sitosterol, sitosterol-d7 maintains a structural resemblance to cholesterol. This similarity allows it to compete with cholesterol for absorption in the digestive system.
Applications
Deuterated compounds, including sitosterol-d7, are often used in research and studies to trace metabolic pathways, understand biological processes, and analyze the absorption and metabolism of specific compounds in the body.
Packaging
Request or purchase high-purity sterile sitosterol-d7 for use in research, methods, and analysis in 1 mg powder packaging from Avanti Research.
