摘要:A new sterol has been isolated from the skin of rats treated with triparanol. Its chromatographic behavior on silicic acid-Celite columns and in gas-liquid chromatographic systems indicated it to be a 4-methyl-Delta(8,24)-cholestadien-3beta-ol. The specific rotation, the delayed color reaction with Liebermann-Burchard reagent, and the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data support the Delta(8(9))-unsaturation. Previous workers have shown that triparanol treatment results in an accumulation of Delta(24)-unsaturated sterols in animal tissues. Consonant with this observation, the infrared, NMR, and mass spectrometric data confirm the presence of a C-24(25) unsaturated side chain in this sterol.
