5alpha-Cholest-8-en-3beta-ol
5a-Cholest-8-en-3b-ol is a normal human metabolite and an intermediate of cholesterol synthesis. The concentrations of zymostenol are higher, both in serum and bile of patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, compared to controls or in patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis treated with chenodeoxycholic acid. Kidney transplant recipients had lower serum zymostenol when compared to controls. During consumption of plant stanol ester spread by hypercholesterolemic children, plant sterols in the plasma decrease and cholesterol precursor sterols such as zymostenol increase. (PMID: 15736111, 16709621, 16477216, 12756385) [HMDB]. 5a-Cholest-8-en-3b-ol is found in many foods, some of which are chinese water chestnut, garden tomato, calabash, and cassava. 5alpha-Cholest-8-en-3beta-ol, also known as zymostenol, is a normal human metabolite and an intermediate of cholesterol synthesis.

Prostaglandin A2
Produced by the seminal vesicles, prostaglandins are a group of lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from fatty acids. Technically hormones, the prostanoid class of fatty acid derivatives is a subclass of eicosanoids. The eicosanoids consist of the prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (TXs), leukotrienes (LTs), and lipoxins (LXs). The PGs and TXs are collectively identified as prostanoids. Prostaglandins were originally shown to be synthesized in the prostate gland, thromboxanes from platelets (thrombocytes), and leukotrienes from leukocytes, hence the derivation of their names. All mammalian cells except erythrocytes synthesize eicosanoids. These molecules are extremely potent, able to cause profound physiological effects at very dilute concentrations. All eicosanoids function locally at the site of synthesis through receptor-mediated G-protein linked signaling pathways. Prostaglandin A is a cyclopentenone and is an endogenous metabolite derived from arachidonic acid. It exhibits potent cellular anti-proliferative activity in vivo and in vitro. Excess PGA2 causes an accumulation in both S and G2/M, and a marked decrease in G1. There is also an increase in DNA content preceeding the G0/G1 peak (indicative of apoptotic body formation) mediated by changes in expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2.

Tazarotene
Tazarotene is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is a prescription topical retinoid sold as a cream or gel. This medication is approved for treatment of psoriasis, acne, and sun damaged skin (photodamage). [Wikipedia]Although the exact mechanism of tazarotene action is not known, studies have shown that the active form of the drug (tazarotenic acid) binds to all three members of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) family: RARa, RARb, and RARg, but shows relative selectivity for RARb, and RARg and may modify gene expression. It also has affinity for RXR receptors.
