title: Nuclear magnetic resonance characterization of 6 alpha-chloro-5 beta-cholestane-3 beta,5-diol formed from the reaction of hypochlorous acid with cholesterol.
abstract: Hypochlorous acid generated by neutrophil myeloperoxidase has been shown to convert cholesterol into three different chlorohydrin isomers which previously had not been fully characterized. We have reacted hypochlorous acid with cholesterol/1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine liposomes to give these three major products and established that they are 6 beta-chloro-5 alpha-cholestane-3 beta,5-diol (chlorohydrin 1), 5 alpha-chloro-6 beta-cholestane-3,6-diol (chlorohydrin 2) and 6 alpha-chloro-5 beta-cholestane-3 beta,5-diol (chlorohydrin 3). These products were separated by thin-layer chromatography and fully characterized by 1H, 13C, attached proton test, doublequantum correlation spectroscopy, total correlation spectroscopy, heteronuclear multiple bond correlation and heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
