Compound	Description
Cholesterol	The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils.
zymostenol	RN given refers to (3beta,5alpha)-isomer; RN for cpd without isomeric designation not available 9/88
d-glutamate
desmosterol	An intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol.
24,25-dihydrolanosterol
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme a	RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation
2,3-oxidosqualene	an oxidized derivative of SQUALENE that can fold in several ways: chair-boat-chair-boat to LANOSTEROL; chair-chair-chair-boat to dammarane; or all chair to hopane and on to cycloartenol; RN given refers to (all-Z)-isomer
lanosterol	A triterpene that derives from the chair-boat-chair-boat folding of 2,3-oxidosqualene. It is metabolized to CHOLESTEROL and CUCURBITACINS.
2,4,6-trimethyl-n-(meta-3-trifluoromethylphenyl)benzenesulfonamide	stimulates phospholipase C; structure in first source
zymosterol	a 4,14-desmethyl intermediate between LANOSTEROL and CHOLESTEROL
