Lanostane or 4,4,14α-trimethylcholestane is a
tetracyclic
chemical compound with formula C
30H
54. It is a
polycyclic hydrocarbon, specifically a
triterpene. It is an isomer of
cucurbitane.
The name is applied to two stereoisomers, distinguished by the prefixes 5α- and 5β-, which differ by the handedness of the bonds at a particular carbon atom (number 5 in the standard steroid numbering scheme). [2]
Replacement of a hydrogen atom attached to carbon number 3 in the 5α isomer with a hydroxyl group results in lanosterol, the biogenetic precursor of the steroids in animals. [2]
