CAS 1062-96-0: Cholesteryl caproate

Description: Cholesteryl caproate, with the CAS number 1062-96-0, is an ester derived from cholesterol and caproic acid (hexanoic acid). It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chains present in both the cholesterol and caproic acid components. This substance typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy material at room temperature. Cholesteryl caproate is known for its role in lipid chemistry and is often studied for its potential applications in drug delivery systems and as a model compound in membrane studies. Its melting point and solubility characteristics are influenced by the balance between the cholesterol moiety and the caproic acid chain, which can affect its behavior in biological systems. Additionally, cholesteryl caproate can participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrolysis and transesterification, making it a subject of interest in both synthetic and analytical chemistry. Overall, its unique structural features contribute to its significance in biochemistry and pharmaceutical research.
