The effect of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one, a potent inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis with marked hypocholesterolemic activity, on the intestinal absorption of exogenous cholesterol has been studied in lymph-cannulated rats. Administration of the 15-ketosterol at a level of 0.05% in a rat chow diet for 10 days was associated with a marked decrease (-64%) in the absorption of cholesterol.

The effects of 15-ketosterol on cholesterol metabolism in cultured rabbit hepatocytes were characterized by the following parameters: a) cholesterol synthesis, b) apo B and apo E secretion, c) bile acid synthesis. 15-Ketosterol used at therapeutic concentration (0.25 microM) reduced cholesterol synthesis (by 50%).

5 alpha-Cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one is a potent inhibitor of cholesterol biosynthesis which has significant hypocholesterolemic activity upon oral administration to rodents and nonhuman primates. In the present study the metabolism of the 15-ketosterol has been investigated after the oral administration of a mixture of [2,4-3H]5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one and [4-14C]cholesterol to 8 baboons. Blood samples were obtained at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 h after administration of the labeled sterols.

The morphological effects of short-term (9 days) dietary administration (0.1% in a laboratory chow diet) of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one, a novel regulator of cholesterol metabolism with significant hypocholesterolemic activity, has been studied in young male rats. Control animals included rats fed the basal diet ad libitum and a series of rats pair-fed to the individual experimental animals.
