Cholesterol

Cholesterol (from animal) is the major sterol in mammals. It is making up 20-25% of structural component of the plasma membrane. Plasma membranes are highly permeable to water but relatively impermeable to ions and protons. Cholesterol (from animal) plays an important role in determining the fluidity and permeability characteristics of the membrane as well as the function of both the transporters and signaling proteins. Cholesterol (from animal) is also an endogenous estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) agonist.

Cholesterol Water Soluble is a major sterol in mammals, constituting 20-25% of the structural composition of the plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is highly permeable to water but relatively impermeable to ions and protons. Cholesterol Water Soluble plays an important role in determining the fluidity and permeability characteristics of membranes and the function of transporters and signaling proteins. Cholesterol Water Soluble is also an endogenous estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) agonist. Cholesterol Water Soluble can be used to study the effects of cholesterol on potassium currents in inner hair cells.

Beta-Sitosterol (purity>98%) is orally active. Beta-Sitosterol exhibits multiple activities, including anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antioxidant enzyme, and analgesic. Beta-Sitosterol inhibits inflammation and impaired adipogenesis in bovine mammary epithelial cells by reducing levels of ROS, TNF-α, IL-1β, and NF-κB p65 and restoring the activity of the HIF-1α/mTOR signaling pathway. Beta-Sitosterol induces apoptosis in cancer cells through ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysregulation and p53 activation. Beta-Sitosterol exerts its anticancer effects in cancer cells by activating caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9, mediating PARP inactivation, MMP loss, altered Bcl-2-Bax ratio, and cytochrome c release. Beta-Sitosterol modulates macrophage polarization and reduces rheumatoid inflammation in mice. Beta-Sitosterol inhibits tumor growth in multiple mouse cancer models. Beta-Sitosterol can be used in the research of arthritis, lung cancer, breast cancer and other cancers, diabetes, etc.

27-Hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator and an agonist of the liver X receptor.

Stigmasterol is an orally acitve, immunomodulatory agent with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effect, as well as able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Stigmasterol activates AMPK, which in turn inhibits NF-κB and NLRP3 signaling pathways, reduces microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, and alleviates cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. Stigmasterol regulates M1/M2 polarization of microglia through the TLR4/ NF-κB pathway, thereby reducing neuropathic pain. Stigmasterol can be used for neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory diseases, and pain management, among others.

Campesterol is a plant sterol with cholesterol lowering and anticarcinogenic effects.

Ergosterol is the primary sterol found in fungi, with antioxidative, anti-proliferative, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Fucosterol is a sterol isolated from algae, seaweed or diatoms. Fucosterol exhibits various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-adipogenic, blood cholesterol reducing, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer activities. Fucosterol regulates adipogenesis via inhibition of PPARα and C/EBPα expression and can be used for anti-obesity agents development research.

Isolithocholic acid (β-Lithocholic acid) is an isomer of Lithocholic acid. Isolithocholic acid, a bile acid, is formed by microbial metabolism of Lithocholic acid or Lithocholic acid 3α-sulfate.

Cholesteryl oleate is an ester compound formed from Cholesterol (HY-N0322) and Oleic acid (HY-N1446), which is involved in lipid transport, storage and cell membrane formation in living organisms. Cholesteryl oleate may serve as a potential biomarker for prostate cancer. Cholesteryl oleate can also prepare cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for efficient gene silencing.

Dehydrocholic acid (Dehydrocholate) is an orally active hydrocholeretic agent. Dehydrocholic acid modulates Autophagy, reduces serum amylase and lipase levels. Dehydrocholic acid has the effects of promoting choleretic function, protecting the liver, reducing pancreatic damage, and regulating cholesterol metabolism. Dehydrocholic acid can be used in the study of acute biliary pancreatitis and obstructive jaundice.

DC-Chol hydrochloride is a cationic lipid. DC-Chol hydrochloride could inhibit Aβ40 fibril formation under appropriate experimental conditions. DC-Chol hydrochloride strongly inhibits amyloidogenesis of oxidized hCT in a dose-dependent manner. DC-Chol hydrochloride induces the production of Th1 (IL-2 and IFN-γ) and Th2 (IL-5) cytokines. DC-Chol hydrochloride can enhance the body's immune response to antigens. DC-Chol hydrochloride is used as a gene delivery vector. DC-Chol hydrochloride can be used in research in areas such as hepatitis B vaccines to improve vaccine immunity.

Oleandrin (PBI-05204) inhibits the Na⁺, K⁺-ATPase activity with an IC₅₀ of 620 nM.

Cholesteryl arachidonate, a lipid, is an endogenous metabolite. Cholesteryl arachidonate has antibacterial activity.

Hydrocortisone acetate (Hydrocortisone 21-acetate) is a corticosteroid used to reduce swelling, itching and pain caused by minor skin irritations or hemorrhoids.

Brassicasterol is a metabolite of Ergosterol and has cardiovascular protective effects. Brassicasterol exerts anticancer effects in prostate cancer through dual targeting of AKT and androgen receptor signaling pathways. Brassicasterol inhibits HSV-1 (IC₅₀=1.2 μM) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Brassicasterol also inhibits sterol δ 24-reductase, slowing the progression of atherosclerosis. Brassicasterol is also a cerebrospinal fluid biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.

Cholesteryl behenate is a cholesterol ester associated with the neutral core of low density lipoprotein Receptor-LDL complexes are taken up by lysosomes and hydrolyzed to release cholesterol from the esters.

Cholesterol-PEG 600 is a synthetic cholesterol derivative and also a Aβ (1-42) binder. Cholesterol-PEG 600 promotes the fibrillogenesis of Aβ (1-42). Cholesterol-PEG 600 is applicable to the research of Alzheimer's disease.

Cholesteryl acetate (Cholesterol 3-acetate) is a cholesterol ester that is exported from Saccharomyces cerevisiae via a Pry1-dependent mechanism. Cholesteryl acetate binds to the CAP superfamily protein Pry1 via interactions dependent on Pry1’s caveolin-binding motif.
