Cholestenone

Cholestenone (4-cholesten-3-one) is an orally available antimicrobial agent that is metabolized primarily in the liver as an intermediate oxidation product of cholesterol. Cholestenone inhibits human dermal fibroblast migration and fights Helicobacter pylori infection in vitro and in mouse models by inhibiting cholesterol-α-D-glucopyranoside (CGL). Cholestenone also alleviates metabolic disorders caused by obesity in db/db mice[1][2][3][4].
