Fluorocholesterols, in contrast to hydroxycholesterols, exhibit interfacial properties similar to cholesterol

We used an automated Langmuir-Pockels surface balance to characterize the air–water interfacial properties of cholesterol (CH) and its derivatives with hydrophilic OH and F substitutions at isologous sites on the sterol body or side chain. We studied 6-fluorocholesterol, 25-fluorocholesterol, 25,26,...
