General description
Coprostan-3-ol is a cholesterol derivative that can be prepared from 5β-cholestan-3-one via reduction.
Application
Coprostan-3-ol can be used as an internal standard:
- For the determination of total amounts of cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase by GC-MS.
- For GC-MS estimation of EpHβA (16-hydroxy-β-amyrin) content of leaves expressing SAD1 and CYP51H10 genes with a green fluorescent protein.
It has been used as an internal standard for the determination of total amounts of cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase by GC/MS.

Triterpenoids are high-value plant metabolites with numerous applications in medicine, agriculture, food, and home and personal care products. However, plants produce triterpenoids in low abundance, and their complex structures make their chemical synthesis prohibitively expensive and often impossible. As such
