CAS 1448-36-8: Methyl cholate
Description:Methyl cholate, with the CAS number 1448-36-8, is a bile acid derivative that plays a role in the digestion and absorption of fats in the body. It is a methyl ester of cholate, which is a naturally occurring bile acid. Methyl cholate is characterized by its amphipathic nature, possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, allowing it to interact with lipids and facilitate emulsification. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure includes a steroid backbone with hydroxyl groups, contributing to its biological activity. Methyl cholate is often studied for its potential applications in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in understanding lipid metabolism and the role of bile acids in various physiological processes. Additionally, it may be used in research related to drug delivery systems and the formulation of lipid-based therapies. As with many bile acids, its behavior in biological systems can be influenced by factors such as pH and the presence of other molecules.
