DescriptionFecosterol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ergosterols and derivatives. These are steroids containing ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3beta-ol or a derivative thereof, which is based on the 3beta-hydroxylated ergostane skeleton. Thus, fecosterol is considered to be a sterol. Fecosterol is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Fecosterol is found in Botrytis cinerea, Eutypa lata, Leptoshaeria maculans, Leptosphaeria maculans, Neurospora crassa and Zea mays. Fecosterol was first documented in 1974 (PMID: 4282021). Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on fecosterol (PMID: 20946868) (PMID: 378990) (PMID: 28710262).
