Metabolite Identification
Common NameStigmastanol
DescriptionStigmastanol, also known as beta-sitostanol or dihydrositosterol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stigmastanes and derivatives. These are sterol lipids with a structure based on the stigmastane skeleton, which consists of a cholestane moiety bearing an ethyl group at the carbon atom C24. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Stigmastanol.
