Stigmast-5-en-3-ol,7-methoxy-, (3b,7a)-, with the CAS number 256445-68-8, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of sterols, which are a subgroup of steroids. This compound features a stigmastane backbone, characterized by a double bond at the 5-position and a hydroxyl group at the 3-position, along with a methoxy group at the 7-position. The stereochemistry indicated by (3b,7a) suggests specific spatial arrangements of atoms, which can influence the compound's biological activity and interactions. Stigmast-5-en-3-ol derivatives are often studied for their potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and cholesterol-lowering properties. The presence of the methoxy group may enhance its lipophilicity, affecting its solubility and absorption in biological systems. Overall, this compound is of interest in both pharmacological research and the study of natural products, particularly those derived from plant sources.

Schleicheol 2 is a natural product of Helianthus, Asteraceae.

Schleicheol 2

(3β,7α)-7-Methoxystigmast-5-en-3-ol is a phytosterol with a nuclear resonance signal at δ = 7.00 ppm. It is a component of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of β-sitosterol and can be used to distinguish between this sterol and stigmasterol. This compound has been shown to have biological activity in experiments that measure the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and its ability to lower serum LDL levels in mice. It also has two-dimensional nmr properties that are similar to those of other sterols found in plants.
