83-48-7 Usage
Description
Different sources of media describe the Description of 83-48-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Stigmasterol is a kind of plant sterol or phytosterol. It is a kind of steroid derivative containing the hydroxyl group, unsaturated bonds, and alkyl group. It mainly exists in the fats and oils of soybean, Calabar bean, and rape seed as well as some kinds of vegetables, legumes and nuts. It can be used for the manufacture of semisynthetic progesterone which is a valuable human hormone. It can also be used in the biosynthesis of androgen, estrogen, and corticoids. Moreover, it can be used for the manufacture of vitamin D3 and cortisone. As a dietary supplement, it can reduce the cholesterol contained in the human body, thus boosting the health state of our body.
2. Stigmasterol is a natural plant sterol that can be isolated from certain seed oils and herbs, including those used for therapeutic purposes. Dietary consumption of phytosterols, including stigmasterol, may have beneficial health effects in adults, particularly against cancer and ulceration. Alternatively, phytosterols may contribute to inflammation and intestinal failure-associated liver disease in young individuals.

Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 83-48-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Plant sterol, used as a precursor in the synthesis of progesterone.
2. Stigmasterol has been used as a phytosterol compound to test its anti-proliferative property in breast cancer cell culture and its effect on liver X receptor-α (LXRA) activation. It may be used as an internal standard for the quantification of yeast cell wall sterols using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and in the preparation of lipid monolayers.
Definition
ChEBI: A 3beta-sterol that consists of 3beta-hydroxystigmastane having double bonds at the 5,6- and 22,23-positions.
General Description
Stigmasterol is a plant sterol that comprises an unsaturated bond between C22 and C23. It is found in foods like margarines and yogurts. Stigmasterol is synthesized from the mevalonate pathway and is present during development stages in plants.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Stigmasterol possesses anti-inflammatory anti-hypercholestrolemic, antitumor and antioxidant functionality. It plays a crucial role in the activation of plasma membrane H+-ATPase and cell proliferation. Variations in stigmasterol and its precursor are noticeable at both the seed and whole plant developmental stages. Stigmasterol may be involved in gravitropism and tolerance to abiotic stress.
Purification Methods
Stigmasterol is best purified via the tetrabromide-acetate. The impure sterol (3g) is acetylated with Ac2O (60mL) by refluxing for 1.5hour. The mixture is cooled at 20o for 1hour, and the crude acetate is collected. The acetate (3g) in Et2O (30mL) is then treated with Br2/AcOH (38mL, from 5g Br2 in 100mL AcOH), and after cooling at 6o overnight, the tetrabromoacetate is filtered off and washed with Et2O. After six recrystallisations from CHCl3/MeOH the tetrabromoacetate has m 194-196o. This product (1g) in AcOH (12mL) and Zn dust (1g) is refluxed for 1.5hours, filtered hot, diluted with H2O (30mL) and extracted with Et2O. The extract is washed with dilute aqueous sodium sulfite, then H2O, the extract is dried (Na2SO4) and the stigmasterol acetate (~550mg) is recrystallised (4x) from EtOH and twice from MeOH/CHCl3 (2:1) to give the acetate with m 139-148o. This acetate (400mg) is hydrolysed in boiling 10% alcoholic KOH (1mL) for 1hour. Then H2O (30mL) is added and the mixture is extracted with Et2O. The extract is washed with aqueous Na2CO3, then H2O, the solvent is distilled off and the residue is recrystallised (3x) from 95% EtOH to give ~110mg of pure stigmasterol. It is dried in a vacuum over P2O5 for 3hours at 90o. The purity is checked by NMR. The acetate crystallises from MeOH with m 145o, [] D 25 -56o (c 2, CHCl3).

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 83-48-7 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 8 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 4 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 83-48:
(4*8)+(3*3)+(2*4)+(1*8)=57
57 % 10 = 7
So 83-48-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

NOVEL METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING 25-OH CHOLESTEROL/CALCIFEDIOL FROM PHYTOSTEROL
-
Page/Page column 18-19, (2020/11/23)
The present invention discloses novel method for synthesizing vegan 25-OH cholesterol/Calcifediol from inexpensive crude phytosterol. According to the method, Phytosterols are reacted to form corresponding i-steroid through tosylation and methanolysis. i-steroid on reductive ozonolysis to C-22 alcohol and conversion via C-22 tosylate to C-22 iodide in good yield. Coupling of C-22 tosylate with Grignard reagent of 4-bromo-2-methyl-2-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy] butane followed by deprotection yielded 25-OH cholesterol. In a process variant, nickel mediated conjugate addition of C-22 iodide to an electron deficient alkene ethyl acrylate and treating corresponding ester with methyl magnesium bromide as means of installing the side chain of 25-OH cholesterol in high yield. Further bromination reaction of 25-OH cholesterol diacetate followed by dehydrobromination using TBAF yielded 25-OH 7-dehydrocholesterol. Further photo reaction of 25-OH 7-dehydrocholesterol in to previtamin D3 using high or medium pressure mercury lamp and subsequent thermal reaction of previtamin D3 to 25-OH vitamin D3(Calcifediol) in good yield.
