description Product Description
Ergosterol is widely used in the production of vitamin D2 through ultraviolet irradiation, making it essential in the fortification of foods and dietary supplements to prevent vitamin D deficiency. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a precursor for the synthesis of various steroids and antifungal medications, particularly those targeting fungal cell membranes. Additionally, ergosterol is a key component in research studies focused on understanding fungal biology and developing new antifungal therapies. Its role in maintaining the structural integrity of fungal cell membranes also makes it a target for antifungal drug development.
