3-beta-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)-, 3-beta-(4-hydroxybutoxy)-, 3-beta-(6-hydroxyhexyloxy)-, 3-beta-(9-hydroxynonyloxy)-, and 3-beta-(2-hydroxy-2-(3H)ethoxy)cholest-5-enes were synthesized. By means of a spin probe, the influence of the synthesized compounds on the phase transition of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine were estimated. Time and dose dependences of the incorporation of 3-beta-(2-hydroxy-2-(3H)ethoxy)cholest-5-ene into rabbit hepatocytes (the primary culture) were studied. 3-beta-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)- and 3-beta-(4-hydroxybutoxy)cholest-5-enes were shown to inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis from (14C)acetate in rabbit hepatocyte cultures upon a 24-hour preincubation.
