The metabolism of Delta(7)-cholestenol, cholesterol, and cholestanol was examined in a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis after intravenous pulse-labeling with a mixture of dl-[2-(14)C]mevalonate and stereospecific 3S,4S,3R,4R-[4-(3)H]mevalonate. Silver nitrate and reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography were used to purify the sterols isolated from the feces, and their identities were confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The specific activities were determined and plotted as a function of time. Isotope ratio measurements and specific activity decay curves showed that sterol synthesis proceeded in the following sequence: mevalonate, squalene, lanosterol, Delta(7)-cholestenol, cholesterol, cholestanol. Labeled cholesterol precursors might be advantageously used to measure changes in cholesterol synthesis because they appear to equilibrate rapidly and have very short turnover times. 相似文献

[3 alpha-3H]14 alpha-Methyl-5 alpha-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol has been prepared by chemical synthesis. The metabolism of this compound has been studied in the 10,000 g supernatant fraction of liver homogenates of female rats. Efficient conversion to cholesterol was observed. Other labeled compounds recovered after incubation of [3 alpha-3H]14 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol with the enzyme preparations include the unreacted substrate, 5 alpha-cholesta-7,14-dien-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholesta-8,14-dien-3 beta-ol, cholesta-5,7-dien-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholest-8-en-3 beta-ol, and 5 alpha-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol. In addition, significant amounts of incubated radioactivity were recovered in steryl esters. The steroidal components of these esters were found to contain labeled 14 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholesta-8,14-dien-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholesta-7,14-dien-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholest-8-en-3 beta-ol, 5 alpha-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol, and cholesterol. 相似文献

A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method is proposed for the detection and quantification of lathosterol in rabbit brain. This compound is one of the most important precursors of the cholesterol synthesis. The interest in brain cholesterol metabolism is growing nowadays since it was described to play an important role in some neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Multiple Sclerosis. The analytical methodology proposed involves a liquid-liquid extraction procedure (LLE) followed by a silylation step previous to the GC-MS analysis. The chromatographic separation was performed by using a low bleed HP5-MS fused silica capillary column. A clean up is not necessary when using single-ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The molecular ion appears at 458 m/z; being as well the base peak. Alpha-naphtol was used as an internal standard. The detection limit obtained was 0.09 microg mL(-1). The method was applied to the determination of brain lathosterol levels in rabbits fed with different types of diets (control and atherogenic, supplemented or not with natural polyphenolic antioxidants). The quantification of the compound in samples showed a reduction, after 1 month, of this precursor of cholesterol synthesis in groups fed with antioxidant supplemented diets. 相似文献

An efficient procedure for the chemical synthesis of 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8-en-7-one and 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8-en-11-one is described. These ketosterols have been shown to have possible significant hypocholesterolemic effects when fed to normal rats at a level of 0.15% in a laboratory chow diet. The diets containing the steroids caused significant decreases in food consumption which were associated with decreases in the rate of gain in body weight. 相似文献

1. The echinoderms Asterias rubens and Solaster papposus (Class Asteroidea) metabolize injected [4(-14)C]cholest-5-en-3beta-ol to produce labelled 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol and 5alpha-cholest-7-en-3beta-ol. 2. Conversion of 5alpha-[4(-14)C]cholestan-3beta-ol into 5alpha-cholest-7-en-3beta-ol was demonstrated in A. Rubens. 3. Incubations of A. rubens with [4(-14)C]cholest-4-en-3-one resulted in the production of labelled 5alpha-cholestan-3-one, 5alpha-cholestan-3beta-ol and 5alpha-cholest-7-en-3beta-ol. 4. [4(-14)C]Sitosterol was metabolized by A. rubens to give 5alpha-stigmastan-3beta-ol and 5alpha-stigmast-7-en-3beta-ol. 5. The significance of these results in relation to the presence of alpha7 sterols in starfish is discussed. 相似文献

The chemical stabilities of the adrenal-scanning agents, 6beta-iodo-methyl-19-norcholest-5(10)-en-3beta-ol (6-iodomethylnorcholesterol) and 19-iodocholest-5-en-3beta-ol (19-iodocholesterol), and several of their derivatives were examined by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. Neat 6-iodomethylnorcholesterol, sealed in glass under nitrogen and stored at 0 degrees C, remains 98 mole% chemically pure for 3 months. Neat 19-iodocholesterol, stored in the dark at 25 degrees C, remains 98 mole% chemically pure for 3 months. Either 6-iodomethylnorcholesterol-125I or-131I, informulation and stored at 5 degrees C, will remain greater than 97% radiochemically pure for at least 15 days. Labelled 19-iodocholesterol, formulated and stored under the same conditions, shows 20% decomposition after 3 weeks and 40% after 6 weeks. 相似文献

6 BETA-Iodomethyl-19-norsitost-5(10)-en-3 beta-ol (V) was synthesized by homoallylic rearrangement of 19-iodositost-5-en-3 beta-ol (IV), which was obtained by the hydrolysis of 19-iodositost-5-en-3 beta-ol acetate (III) derived from the displacement of sitost-5-ene-3 beta, 19-diol 3-acetate 19-p-toluenesulfonate (I) with sodium iodide in isopropanol. The radioiodinated IV and V were prepared by isotope exchange with sodium iodide-I-131. 相似文献

Reduction of 3beta-benzoyloxy-14alpha,15alpha-epoxy-5alpha-cholest-7-ene with lithium in ethylenediamine gave 5alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3beta, 5alpha-diol in high yield. This procedure offers an alternate synthesis through the reductive rearrangement of an alpha,beta-unsaturated steroidal epoxide. 相似文献

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is known to be oxidized both in vitro and in vivo giving rise to oxygenated sterols. Conflicting results, however, have been reported concerning both the nature and the relative concentrations of these compounds in oxidized human LDL. We examined the extracts obtained from Cu(2+)-oxidized LDL. Thin layer chromatography analysis showed that the sterol mixture became more complex with reaction time. Analysis of the components by thin layer chromatography and mass spectrometry allowed to establish that 7 alpha- and 7 beta-hydroperoxycholest-5-en-3 beta-ol (7 alpha OOH and beta OOH) are largely prevalent among the oxysterols at early times of oxidation. These hydroperoxy derivatives have not been previously identified in oxidized LDL. The concentration of 7-hydroperoxycholest-5-en-3 beta-ol decreased with oxidation time with a concomitant increase of cholest-5-en-3 beta, 7 alpha-diol (7 alpha OH), cholest-5-en-3 beta, 7 beta-diol (7 beta OH), cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one (CD) and cholest-5-en-3 beta-ol-7-one (7CO). After 24 h of oxidation a minor component of the LDL sterols was cholestan-3 beta-ol-5,6-oxide (EP). 相似文献

The X-ray crystal structure of 3 beta-benzoyloxy-6 alpha-chloro-5 alpha-cholest-7-ene (IV) was determined by the heavy atom method and refined to R = 0.063 (space group P21, a = 11.364, b = 11.089, c = 12.232, beta = 99.43 degrees, Z = 2). IV was previously shown to be an important intermediate in the acid-catalyzed isomerization of 7-dehydrocholesteryl benzoate. The present work unequivocally establishes the location of the double bond and the configuration of the chlorine of IV, information which is essential to the correct formulation of the mechanism of this reaction. 相似文献

Cholest-4 alpha-methyl-7-en-3beta-ol (1) has potent inhibitory activity against pc 12 tumor with 0.5043 ratio (10 microg/mL). This paper describes a series of structural modification of this compound, which focus on 3beta-hydroxyl group and 7(8)-double bond. The synthesized derivatives of 1 were tested for human cancer cell lines including colon cancer (HCT-8), liver cancer (BEL-7402) and nasopharyngeal cancer (KB) cells. The results showed that cholest-4 alpha-methyl-8-en-3beta,7 alpha-diol 6a inhibits KB cell significantly with IC(50) 1.32 x 10(-9)microg/mL. In addition, the cytotoxic properties of this compound against HCT-8 and BEL-7402 are excellent with IC(50) 1.2 microg/mL. 相似文献

The sterol composition of sera from patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) was investigated by gas chromatographic analysis of saponified extracts, using a polar (CP Wax 52CB) and an apolar (CP Sil 5CB) capillary column. Apart from already known sterols, the presence of increased amounts of 8-lathosterol (5 alpha-cholest-8(9)-en-3 beta-ol) and significant amounts of 8-dehydrocholesterol (cholesta-5,8-dien-3 beta-ol) were noticed. The latter compound has not been detected previously in human serum and possibly represents a hitherto unknown cholesterol precursor. The apparently elevated levels of delta 8-sterols in CTX serum suggests partial inhibition of migration of the 8,9 double bond to the 7,8 position in this condition. The concentration of 7-lathosterol, an indicator of cholesterol production rate, is also highly elevated in CTX serum and quickly returns to normal values after oral bile acid therapy. Determinations of serum lathosterol are not only useful in the follow-up of therapy of CTX patients, but also in the follow-up of hypercholesterolemic patients treated with either HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors or bile acid sequestrants. 相似文献

Described herein are the chemical syntheses of a number of deuterated derivatives of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one. These include the [2,2,3 alpha,4,4,7,7,9 alpha,16,16-2H10]-, [7 alpha,9 alpha,16,16-2H4]-, [7,7,9 alpha,16,16-2H5]-, and [2,2,3 alpha,4,4-2H5]-analogs of the delta 8(14)-15-ketosterol. Also included are the syntheses of the 3 beta-acetate derivatives of the latter three deuterated analogs and of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one, and 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 alpha-ol-15-one. Low resolution mass spectral data on these compounds and on 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one, 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one, 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 alpha-ol-15-one, 3 beta-benzoyloxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one, and the trimethylsilyl ethers of the free sterols have been presented. The results of these studies, supplemented with high resolution mass spectral data on five of these compounds, have been used to evaluate the electron impact mass spectral fragmentation of the delta 8(14)-15-ketosterols and their derivatives. Also presented herein are the results of 1H, 2H, and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one and its derivatives. 相似文献

We demonstrated that two-thirds of [2,4-3H]5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one was efficiently taken up and consequently metabolized and secreted by Hep G2 cells when it was pulsed for 16 hrs followed by chasing for another 72 hrs. The metabolism was clearly reflected by the cellular secretion. Approximately 61%, 26% and 10% of uptaken [2,4-3H]5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one was metabolized to its water-soluble metabolites, polar metabolites in lipid phase and ketosteryl esters, respectively. Ninety-four percent of these metabolites was secreted into media. Interestingly, polar forms of the metabolites of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one accounted for over 95% of the cellular secretes. Limited secretion of ketosteryl esters was also detected. The data strongly suggest that Hep G2 cells have the potential to process 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one and could provide a good model for studying its secretion. 相似文献

Sterol carrier protein (SCP) (Ritter, M. C., and Dempsey, M.E. (1973) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 70, 265-269) promotes the microsomal dehydrogenation of 5-cholest-7-en-3 beta-ol (lathosterol) to 7-dehydrocholesterol. This promotion occurs whether the substrate is exogenous or preincorporated into microsomes. Similarly, SCP promotes an intermembrane transfer of lathosterol from one microsomal population to another (Ishibashi, T., and Bloch, K. (1981) J. Biol. Chem. 256, 12962-12967). Here we present evidence for an SCP-mediated collisional interaction which results in the intermembrane transfer of sterol substrate and excludes a conventional substrate-carrier mechanism for SCP. Radioactive carboxymethyl SCP is shown to bind to microsomes and to anionic phospholipids but not to phosphatidylcholine. Treatment of microsomes with trypsin, but not with phospholipase A2, reduces SCP binding. Binding studies with small molecules substantiate the identity of SCP with Z-protein. 相似文献

3 beta-Hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one (I) is a potent inhibitor of sterol synthesis with significant hypocholesterolemic activity. (25R)-3 beta,26-Dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one (II) has been shown to be a major metabolite of I after incubation with rat liver mitochondria. Described herein is the chemical synthesis of II from diosgenin. As part of this synthesis, improved conditions are described for the conversion of diosgenin to (25R)-26-hydroxycholesterol. Benzoylation of the latter compound gave (25R)-cholest-5-ene-3 beta,26-diol 3 beta,26-dibenzoate which, upon allylic bromination followed by dehydrobromination, gave (25R)-cholesta-5,7-diene-3 beta,26-diol 3 beta,26-dibenzoate. Hydrogenation-isomerization of the delta 5.7-3 beta,26-dibenzoate to (25R)-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-ene-3 beta,26-diol 3 beta,26-bis(cyclohexanecarboxylate) followed by controlled oxidation with CrO3-dimethylpyrazole gave (25R)-3 beta,26-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one 3 beta,26-bis(cyclohexanecarboxylate). Acid hydrolysis of the delta 8(14)-15-ketosteryl diester gave II. 13C NMR assignments are given for all synthetic intermediates and several major reaction byproducts. The structure of II was unequivocally established by X-ray crystal analysis. II was found to be highly active in the suppression of the levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase in cultured mammalian cells and to inhibit oleoyl coenzyme A-dependent esterification of cholesterol in jejunal microsomes. 相似文献
