The oxidation of cholesterol and stigmasterol with iodosylbenzene cata
lyzed by 5,10,15,20 - alpha,alpha,alpha,alpha- [O - (4N-methylisonicot
inamido) phenyl]porphyrinatomanganese(III) acetate gives 5 alpha, 6 al
pha-epoxides and 5 beta, 6 beta-epoxides in homogeneous medium and pho
spholipid vesicles in different yields. The higher yield of 5 beta, 6
beta-epoxide of above steroids in phospholipid vesicles than homgeneou
s medium indicate that oxidation is more regioselective in phospholipi
d vesicles than the homogeneous medium. The incorporation of manganese
(III) porphyrin and its metal free porphyrin in phospholipid vesicles
have been studied by the UV-visible, Fluorescence, Quasi Laser Light S
cattering and Transmission Electron Microscopic techniques.
