24-Methylenecholesterol
24-Methylenecholesterol, also known as chalinasterol or ostreasterol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ergosterols and derivatives. These are steroids containing ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3beta-ol or a derivative thereof, which is based on the 3beta-hydroxylated ergostane skeleton. Thus, 24-methylenecholesterol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 24-Methylenecholesterol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 24-Methylenecholesterol is involved in the biosynthesis of steroids. 24-Methylenecholesterol is converted from 5-dehydroepisterol by 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (EC 1.3.1.21). 24-Methylenecholesterol is converted into campesterol by delta24-sterol reductase (EC 1.3.1.72). 24-methylenecholesterol is a 3beta-sterol having the structure of cholesterol with a methylene group at C-24. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a 3beta-sterol and a 3beta-hydroxy-Delta(5)-steroid. It is functionally related to a cholesterol. 24-Methylenecholesterol is a natural product found in Echinometra lucunter, Ulva fasciata, and other organisms with data available. A 3beta-sterol having the structure of cholesterol with a methylene group at C-24. Constituent of clams and oysters 24-Methylenecholesterol (Ostreasterol), a natural marine sterol, stimulates cholesterol acyltransferase in human macrophages. 24-Methylenecholesterol possess anti-aging effects in yeast. 24-methylenecholesterol enhances honey bee longevity and improves nurse bee physiology[1][2][3].
4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one, 9CI
4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one, also known as isopropylidene acetone or (CH3)2C=chc(=o)CH3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as enones. Enones are compounds containing the enone functional group, with the structure RC(=O)CR. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble in water, and relatively neutral. Thus, 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one is considered to be an oxygenated hydrocarbon lipid molecule. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one is a sweet, acrylic, and chemical tasting compound. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as orange bell peppers, pepper (c. frutescens), herbs and spices, yellow bell peppers, and green bell peppers. This could make 4-methyl-3-penten-2-one a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. With regards to humans, 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder celiac disease. Flavouring ingredient. Constituent of Capsicum subspecies, Osmanthus fragrans (sweet osmanthus) and other plants. 4-Methyl-3-penten-2-one, 9CI is found in many foods, some of which are pepper (c. annuum), yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and red bell pepper.
Ostreasterol
24-Methylenecholesterol (Ostreasterol), a natural marine sterol, stimulates cholesterol acyltransferase in human macrophages. 24-Methylenecholesterol possess anti-aging effects in yeast. 24-methylenecholesterol enhances honey bee longevity and improves nurse bee physiology[1][2][3].
