Application

Cholesterol 5α, 6α-epoxide was incorporated in culture medium of human arterial endothelial cells to study oxysterol-induced toxicity.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cholesterol 5α, 6α-epoxide is an oxysterol, a cholesterol derivative by auto-oxidation. Oxysterols are non-genomic regulators of cholesterol homeostasis. The biological effects include protein prenylation, apoptosis, modulation of sphingolipid metabolism and platelet aggregation. Oxysterols bind to liver X receptors, modulate cholesterol efflux and decrease the uptake of cholesterol by the cells.

Preparation Note

Cholesterol 5α, 6α-epoxide yields clear, colorless solution in chloroform at 50 mg/ml.

The mutagenicity of oxysterols, cholesterol-3beta,5alpha,6beta-triol (alpha-Triol), 7-keto-cholesterol (7-Keto) and cholesterol-5alpha,6alpha-epoxide (alpha-Epox) were examined by the Ames method and chromosome aberration test in this study. Only alpha-Triol concentration-dependently caused an increase of bacterial revertants in the absence of metabolic activating enzymes

Controversy exists about the net effect of alcohol on atherogenesis. A protective effect is assumed, especially from the tannins and phenolic compounds in red wine, owing to their inhibition of low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. However, increased atherogenesis occurs in
