Description14-demethyllanosterol, also known as 4,4-dimethylzymosterol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as triterpenoids. These are terpene molecules containing six isoprene units. Thus, 14-demethyllanosterol is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 14-demethyllanosterol is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
