promising. We hypothesize that plant sterols can reduce blood cholesterol because they have a side chain of at least three branches. Three cholesterol analogues were synthesized: CA0 (no side chain), CA3 (a 3‑carbon chain with one branch), and CA14 (a 14‑carbon side chain with two branches), and then compared their effect on blood cholesterol with that of β-sitosterol. Structurally, β-sitosterol has a
植物甾醇在治疗高胆固醇血症中的应用前景广阔。我们假设植物甾醇可以降低血液胆固醇,因为它们具有至少三个分支的侧链。合成了三种胆固醇类似物:CA0(无侧链)、CA3(具有一个分支的 3 碳链)和 CA14(具有两个分支的 14 碳侧链),然后将它们对血液胆固醇的影响与β-谷甾醇。在结构上,β-谷甾醇具有 10 个碳侧链和三个分支。结果表明,β-谷甾醇可有效降低高胆固醇血症仓鼠血浆总胆固醇(TC)20.3%,而CA0、CA3和CA14对血浆TC没有影响。血浆和肝脏中不存在β-谷甾醇,表明它没有被吸收。我们得出结论,具有三个分支的 β-谷甾醇具有降低血浆 TC 的活性。相反,具有两个或更少支链的侧链的胆固醇类似物不影响血浆胆固醇。
