Description

Application

Bovine aortic endothelial cells were treated with 22(R)-Hydroxycholesterol to study the effects on production of free radicals and in studies related to fatty acid metabolism.

Biochem/physiol Actions

22(R)-Hydroxycholesterol is an intermediate of the pregnenolone synthesis pathway from cholesterol. It reported has neuroprotective properties and protects the neurons against β-amyloid-induced cell death. 22(R)-Hydroxycholesterol acts as the ligand of liver X receptors that act as sensors of sterol concentration and regulates the fatty acid metabolism.

Preparation Note

22(R)-Hydroxycholesterol yield clear, colorless solution in chloroform.
