CAS 15507-52-5: cholesteryl methyl carbonate

Description:Cholesteryl methyl carbonate is a chemical compound derived from cholesterol, characterized by the presence of a methyl carbonate functional group. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and methanol, but has limited solubility in water. This compound is often used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research due to its role as a cholesterol derivative, which can influence membrane fluidity and cellular processes. Cholesteryl methyl carbonate can also serve as a precursor in the synthesis of various cholesterol-based materials and derivatives. Its molecular structure includes a steroid backbone, which contributes to its biological activity and interactions within lipid membranes. As with many cholesterol derivatives, it may exhibit specific biological activities, including potential effects on cell signaling and membrane dynamics. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
