Sterols affecting meiosis: novel chemical syntheses and the biological activity and spectral properties of the synthetic sterols
4,4-Dimethyl-5α-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3β-ol (I) from human follicular fluid and 4,4-dimethyl-5α-cholesta-8,24-dien-3β-ol (II) from bull testes have been reported to activate meiosis in mouse oocytes (Byskov et al., 1995. Nature. 374: 559–562). Described herein are new chemical syntheses of I, II, a...
