cholesteryl methyl ether

Description:
Cholesteryl methyl ether, with the CAS number 1174-92-1, is an ether derivative of cholesterol, characterized by the presence of a methyl group attached to the oxygen atom of the ether functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. Cholesteryl methyl ether exhibits properties similar to cholesterol, including its role in biological membranes and potential implications in lipid metabolism. It is often used in biochemical research to study lipid interactions and membrane dynamics. The compound's structure includes a steroid nucleus, which contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its behavior in biological systems. Additionally, cholesteryl methyl ether can serve as a model compound for understanding the effects of cholesterol derivatives in various physiological processes. Its stability and reactivity can vary depending on environmental conditions, making it a subject of interest in both synthetic and analytical chemistry.

    Cholesteryl methylether

    Controlled Product
    CAS:
    <p>Cholesteryl methylether is a dietary compound that is not absorbed in the digestive tract and is excreted unchanged in the feces. It has been shown to be an eluting agent that causes a decrease in the concentration of choline, chloride, and aliphatic hydrocarbon. Cholesteryl methylether was found to be a potent antiviral agent when it was used at high concentrations on cells infected with virus. The mechanism of action involves nucleophilic attack by the hydroxyl group on the phosphate ester bond of viral RNA. Cholesteryl methylether may also function as a vitamin D3 precursor for animals because it is an animal-specific compound and has been observed to cause liver cells to synthesize vitamin D3.</p>
