Definition
2-deoxycastasterone, also known as typhasterol, belongs to trihydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives class of compounds. Those are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears three hydroxyl groups. 2-deoxycastasterone is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 2-deoxycastasterone can be found in a number of food items such as canola, kumquat, asparagus, and salmonberry, which makes 2-deoxycastasterone a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as trihydroxy bile acids, alcohols and derivatives. These are prenol lipids structurally characterized by a bile acid or alcohol which bears three hydroxyl groups.
