Metabolite Identification
Common Namelanosteryl oleate
DescriptionLanosteryl oleate is a lipid metabolite belonging to the class of sterol esters. It is derived from the transesterification of lanosterol, a tetracyclic triterpene, with oleic acid, resulting in a compound that features a long hydrocarbon chain attached to the sterol backbone. The chemical structure of lanosteryl oleate consists of a lanosterol moiety linked to an oleate group via an ester bond, which influences its solubility and biological interactions. Lanosteryl oleate is involved in various biochemical pathways, particularly in lipid metabolism and cellular signaling processes. Its formation occurs in the context of enzymatic reactions where lanosterol serves as a precursor, indicating its role in the biosynthesis of complex lipids. Notably, studies have shown that cholesterol can be transesterified with ethyl dihydrocinnamate to produce cholesteryl dihydrocinnamate, while the corresponding reaction with lanosterol yields lanosteryl oleate in a lower yield (14%) (PMID:11714305 ). This highlights the chemical versatility of lanosterol and its potential applications in the development of lipid-based formulations.
