| 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 |
