DescriptionZymosterol intermediate 2, also known as zymostrol or 5a-cholesta-8,24-dien-3b-ol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cholesterols and derivatives. Cholesterols and derivatives are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Zymosterol intermediate 2 is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
