A series of novelsterols was synthesised as probes for the enzymatic and cellular functions of two important enzymes of intracellular cholesterolmetabolism, acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase. The compounds were 6-fluoro-5-cholesten-3 beta-ol (6-fluorocholesterol), 7-cholesten-3 beta-ol (7-cholestenol), 6 beta-fluorocholestan-3 beta-ol (6 beta-fluorocholestanol)
