Inhibitors of sterol synthesis. Chemical synthesis and spectral properties of 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholesta-8(14),24-dien-15-one, 3 beta,25-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one, and 3 beta,24-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one and their effects on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity in CHO-K1 cells.
Side-chain functionalized delta 8(14)-15-ketosterols have been synthesized from 3 beta-acetoxy-24-hydroxy-5 alpha-chol-8(14)-en-15-one (VI) as part of a program to prepare potential metabolites and analogs of 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one (I), a potent regulator of cholesterol metab...
