InChIKey: ZEPNVCGPJXYABB-LOIOQLKMSA-N
SMILES: C=C(C(C)C)CC[C@@H](C)[C@H]1CC[C@@]2([H])C3=CC=C4C[C@@H](O)CC[C@]4(C)[C@@]3([H])CC[C@]12C
Biological Activity: 5-Dehydroepisterol is a C28 alkylated sterol based on ergostane, and serves as a major component of the sterol pool in Leishmania parasites. The content of 5-Dehydroepisterol in Leishmania promastigotes can be depleted by 22,26-Azasterol, Amiodarone (HY-14187) and Tomatine (HY-N2166). Among these agents, Amiodarone (HY-14187) inhibits the biosynthetic process of this sterol by disrupting the function of squalene epoxidase. 5-Dehydroepisterol can be used in the research of leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis[1][2][3][4][5][6].
