Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name5a-Cholest-8-en-3b-ol
Description​5alpha-Cholest-8-en-3beta-ol, also known as cholestenol or zymostenol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cholesterols and derivatives. Cholesterols and derivatives are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Thus, ​5alpha-cholest-8-en-3beta-ol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. ​5alpha-Cholest-8-en-3beta-ol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 5a-Cholest-8-en-3b-ol is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
