| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
7-keto Cholesterol is a bioactive sterol and a major oxysterol component of oxidized LDL.1,2 It is produced by oxidation of cholesterol via ethanol-mediated lipid peroxidation or photodamage as well as oxidation of 7-dehydro cholesterol (Item No. 14612) by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP7A1.3,4,5 7-keto Cholesterol inhibits CYP7A1 (IC50 = ~1 μM).4 It induces activation and chemotaxis of retinal microglia as well as polarization to a pro-inflammatory state via NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vitro.6 Intraocular implantation of 7-keto cholesterol coated wafers increases ocular levels of VEGF, IL-1β, and GRO/KC, macrophage infiltration, and neovascularization in rat eye.7 Levels of 7-keto cholesterol in lipid deposits are increased in a variety of chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis, Alzheimer''s disease, and age-related macular degeneration. | [Chemical Properties]

A metabolite of Cholesterol | [Definition]
ChEBI: A cholestanoid that consists of cholesterol bearing an oxo substituent at position 7. | [General Description]
7-ketocholesterol is a major oxidation product of cholesterol. | [Biochem/physiol Actions]
7-ketocholesterol is a strong inhibitor of cytochrome P450 7A1. It modulates cholesterol homeostasis, cytotoxicity and apoptosis. 7-ketocholesterol stimulates inflammation, growth inhibition and vascular endothelial growth factor. Cellular accumulation of 7-ketocholesterol enhances oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in macrophages. | [Safety Profile]
Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes |
