Abstract
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.
