Image Lanosterol skeletal.svg thumb Lanosterol Cholestenes are derivatives of cholestanes which have a double bond . One of the most significant cholestenes is cholecalciferol . If there are two double bonds, the molecule is known as a cholestadiene . Examples include fusidic acid , lanosterol , and stigmasterol .
