A library of diastereomerically pure epoxysterols, prepared by combining chemical and enzymatic methodologies, was evaluated for cytotoxicity toward human cancer and noncancer cell lines. Unsaturated steroids were oxidized by magnesium bis(monoperoxyphthalate) hexahydrate in acetonitrile, and the resulting epimeric epoxides were enzymatically separated using Novozym 435 or lipase AY. Some of the synthesized epo...
