Description5α-cholesta-8,24-dien-3-one, also known as zymosterone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cholesterols and derivatives. Cholesterols and derivatives are compounds containing a 3-hydroxylated cholestane core. Thus, 5α-cholesta-8,24-dien-3-one is considered to be a sterol lipid molecule. 5α-cholesta-8,24-dien-3-one is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral.
