Definition
4alpha-methylstigmasta-7z,24(28)-dien-3beta-ol, also known as (Z)-24-ethylidenelophenol or citrostadienol, belongs to stigmastanes and derivatives class of compounds. Those are sterol lipids with a structure based on the stigmastane skeleton, which consists of a cholestane moiety bearing an ethyl group at the carbon atom C24. 4alpha-methylstigmasta-7z,24(28)-dien-3beta-ol is practically insoluble (in water) and an extremely weak acidic compound (based on its pKa). 4alpha-methylstigmasta-7z,24(28)-dien-3beta-ol can be found in peach, which makes 4alpha-methylstigmasta-7z,24(28)-dien-3beta-ol a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as stigmastanes and derivatives. These are sterol lipids with a structure based on the stigmastane skeleton, which consists of a cholestane moiety bearing an ethyl group at the carbon atom C24.
