Cholesterol+Drugs

Nguyen Cao p.6 1/25/10 That's my Molecule project

=Cholesterol Drugs=
 * Molecule name : Cholesterol Drugs
 * Chemical Formula: C27H46O
 * Structural fromula and model

=2.Structure, Shape and Properties=
 * Cholesterol has 4 rings of carbon; this four-ring structure known as the perhydrocyclopentanophenanthrene ring system or the steroid nucleus.
 * The steroid nucleus can contain double bonds and hydroxyls in various positions
 * The 3-d shape look like stringy which is sweet smell but it actually camphor. Because of the Chemical suffix -ol.
 * Physical property they doesnt dissolve in water but dissolve in oranganic liquids.
 * Cholesteric liquid crystals is changes colour when its temperature changes
 * Oranganic liquids is a compound that contains carbon, that is in liquid state. With the exception of a few simple carbon compounds that do not have any of the funtionals gruop as it shown below.

 * Appearance:** White crystals
 * Boiling Point:** 360C (680F)
 * Melting Point:** 148.5C (298F)
 * Cholesterol is a complex organic compound which is part of the biochemical family of the compound known as lipids.
 * Cholesteric liquid crystals is changing colour when its temperature changes
 * Since Cholesterol is not soluble in water, it is transported through blood stream bound to molecules containing both fat and protein components which development of circulatory diseases.
 * Cholesterol is a type of fatty substance, which you can get cholesterol from eating certain types of fatty foods.
 * High cholesterol can lead to damaged arteries and heart disease.
 * Cholesterol can make people to have sickness and became unhealthy which they're linked to many of dangerous side effects
 * Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found in all parts of the body. Your body makes some cholesterol, and some cholesterol comes from the food you eat.Your body needs a little bit of cholesterol to work properly. But too much cholesterol can clog your arteries and lead to heart disease. This article focuses on cholesterol and your diet.
 * The name cholesterol originates from the Greek //chole-// (bile) and //stereos// (solid), and the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, as François Poulletier de la Salle first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones.
 * Cholesterol had been unknown since 1770, and researchon its structure did not begin until the 20th cenrtury. IN 1903, a young german chemist name Adolf Windaus decide to concentrate on finding the molecular composition of the compund. He also worked out a detailed structure for cholesterol.
