Definition
Castasterone belongs to tetrahydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives class of compounds. Those are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears four hydroxyl groups. Castasterone is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Castasterone can be found in a number of food items such as silver linden, common oregano, pili nut, and canola, which makes castasterone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tetrahydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. These are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears four hydroxyl groups.
