CAS 1183-04-6: Cholesteryl decanoate
Description:Cholesteryl decanoate is an ester formed from cholesterol and decanoic acid, characterized by its long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a steroidal structure. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water due to its lipophilic nature, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. Cholesteryl decanoate is known for its role in lipid metabolism and is often studied in the context of membrane biophysics and drug delivery systems. Its melting point and other physical properties can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. Additionally, it may exhibit unique biological activities, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Safety data indicates that, like many lipid derivatives, it should be handled with care, as it may pose risks if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin. Overall, cholesteryl decanoate serves as a significant model compound in the study of lipid interactions and formulations.
