Product Description

  

Lanosterol is a 30-carbon compound classified under the sterol family. Structurally, it contains four fused rings, which are characteristic of steroids, and has a hydroxyl group at position C3 and an aldehyde group at position C24. It is synthesized via the mevalonate pathway, a metabolic process involving several enzymatic steps starting from acetyl-CoA.

 Function:

 Cholesterol Synthesis: Lanosterol is a key intermediate in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Through a series of enzymatic modifications, lanosterol is converted into cholesterol, which is a fundamental component of cell membranes and precursors to many vital molecules such as steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D.

Vision Restoration: In recent years, lanosterol has gained attention for its potential role in dissolving cataracts. Research suggests that lanosterol can promote the clearance of aggregated proteins in the lens, which are responsible for cataract formation. However, clinical applications for this purpose are still under investigation.

Application:

Pharmaceutical Industry: Although lanosterol itself is not typically used directly in medications, its role in cholesterol synthesis makes it an area of interest in drug discovery. Researchers explore ways to modulate its conversion to cholesterol for therapeutic purposes, such as in managing high cholesterol levels or related diseases.

Medical Research: As mentioned earlier, lanosterol's potential to dissolve cataracts has led to investigations into its use in ophthalmology. However, this application requires further research and development before it can be considered for widespread use.

Biological Studies: In laboratory settings, lanosterol is used as a biochemical tool to study cholesterol biosynthesis and the mechanisms of enzymes involved in this pathway.

Natural Products: While not widely used as a standalone ingredient, lanosterol and its derivatives are present in various plant and fungal extracts and may contribute to their bioactive properties.
