Cerevisterol (5α-ergosta-7,22-diene-3β,5,6β-triol) is a sterol compound found in several fungi and, recently, in deep-sea coral.

Discovery and properties

Cerevisterol was first discovered in 1928 as a component of crude yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) sterols remaining from the manufacture of the related ergosterol.[1] Honeywell and Hills purified the compound and reported its properties in a 1932 publication. They noted its high melting point (265.3°C) relative to other sterols, and insolubility in the organic solvent hexane. These characteristics facilitated its purification, and they were able to obtain 10 grams of cerevisterol from 4500 kilograms of dry yeast.[2] The following year, they determined its chemical formula to be C26H46O3, with two double bonds, and with two of the oxygen molecules occurring in hydroxyl groups.[3] Its structure was determined in 1954 by comparison with a sample that was chemically synthesized from ergosterol.[4] Purified cerevisterol has the form of a white amorphous solid.[5] When crystallized in ethyl alcohol, it forms elongated prisms, while crystallization in acetone or ethyl acetate produces broad hexagonal prisms. Its UV absorption spectrum shows a maximum at about 248 mµ. Cerevisterol is a stable molecule, showing no discoloration or change in melting point even after several weeks of exposure to light and air.[2]

Occurrence

Cerevisterol is widely distributed in the fungal kingdom. In the division Basidiomycota, it occurs in several members of the fungal family Boletaceae,[6] the edible mushrooms Cantharellus cibarius,[7] Volvariella volvacea[8] Pleurotus sajor-caju,[9] Laetiporus sulphureus,[10] and Suillus luteus,[11] in the milk mushroom Lactarius hatsudake,[12] and the coral fungus Ramaria botrytis.[13] In the division Ascomycota, it has been reported in Auricularia polytricha,[14] Bulgaria inguinans,[15] Engleromyces goetzei,[16] Acremonium luzulae,[17] the lichens Ramalina hierrensis[18] Pencillium herquei,[19] and Stereocaulon azoreum.[20] It has also been found in the endophytes Alternaria brassicicola,[5] Fusarium oxysporum,[21] and a strain of Gliocladium,[22] and the deep-sea fungus Aspergillus sydowi.[23] In 2013, the sterol was reported in the South China Sea gorgonian coral Muriceoopsis flavida.[24] A 9-hydroxylated analogue of cerevisterol was reported from R. botrytis.[13] A modified version of the compound, (22E, 24R)-cerevisterol, has been reported from the coral Subergorgia mollis. It was shown to be moderately cytotoxic to embryos of the zebrafish Danio rerio.[25]

Bioactivity

Cerevisterol inhibits the eukaryotic enzyme DNA polymerase alpha,[26] and it is also a potent inhibitor of NF-kappa B activation.[7] The sterol is cytotoxic to the P388 leukemia cells[23] and A549 and human alveolar epithelial cells grown in culture.[24]
