WHAT DOES LUMISTEROL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lumisterol

Lumisterol is a compound that is part of the vitamin D family of steroid compounds. It is the stereoisomer of ergosterol and was produced as a photochemical by-product in the preparation of vitamin D1, which was a mixture of vitamin D2 and lumisterol. Vitamin D2 can be formed from lumisterol by an electrocyclic ring opening and subsequent sigmatropic hydride shift.

Definition of lumisterol in the English dictionary

Why Does Vitamin D Matter?
Some of this pre-vitamin D3 is also broken down by UVB to inactive metabolites such as tachysterol and lumisterol, limiting the cutaneous production of vitamin D3. Therefore, excessive sun exposure cannot lead to vitamin D toxicity [4, 5].

Organic Photochemistry: Principles and Applications
Its reverse action, also photochemical, can also produce the isomeric lumisterol if the electrocyclic reaction takes place in the opposite direction. The production of tachysterol is simply the result of a photochemical (E)— (Z) isomerization.
