Coprostanol is a cholesterol derivative formed in mammals by intestinal microorganisms and is the odorous compound in feces. [1]It is formed via conversion of cholesterol to cholestenone then coprostanone intermediates or by direct reduction of the 5,6 double bond. Coprostanol is commonly used as a marker of sewage contamination in soil and watersheds.[2][3]
