Inhibitors of sterol synthesis. Chemical synthesis of 5 beta-cholest-8-ene-3 beta,15 alpha-diol and its effects on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity in CHO-K1 cells.

5 beta-Cholest-8-ene-3 beta,15 alpha-diol, prepared by hydroboration of 5 beta-cholesta-8,14-dien-3 beta-ol, was determined to have the 14 alpha-H,15 alpha-OH configuration by comparisons of observed and calculated lanthanide-induced shifts for the 3-tertbutyldimethylsilyl derivative. The 3 beta,15...
