Zymostenol

Zymostenol is a late-stage precursor in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. It is an agonist of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma (RORgamma) with an EC50 value of 1 µM in a RORgamma coactivator recruitment assay in the presence of ursolic acid (Cay-10072). It increases the number of myelin basic protein-positive oligodendrocytes generated from oligodendrocyte precursor cells in vitro. Zymostenol accumulates in cells following administration of microsomal antiestrogen-binding site (AEBS) ligands, such as tamoxifen (Cay-13258), which are associated with cell differentiation and a protective type of autophagy. When used alone at a concentration of 20 µM, zymostenol halts the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase and increases the levels of free sterols, esterified sterols, and triacylglycerols in MCF-7 cells.Formal Name: (5alpha)-cholest-8-en-3beta-ol.
