Chemical Information
NameEpi-coprostanol
DescriptionEpi-coprostanol is a 27 carbon stanol formed from the biohydrogenation of cholesterol (cholest-5en-3β-ol) in the gut of most higher animals and birds. It is a breakdown product of 5b-coprastanol and can be found in treated sewage. It is considered to be an antioxidant and is a major constituent of ambergris. [HMDB]
