:Cholesteryl laurate
Description:
Cholesteryl laurate is an ester formed from cholesterol and lauric acid, characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chains. It is a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. This compound is often studied for its role in lipid metabolism and its potential applications in drug delivery systems, particularly in the formulation of liposomes and nanoparticles. Cholesteryl laurate can influence membrane fluidity and stability, making it relevant in biochemistry and pharmaceutical sciences. Its molecular structure includes a steroid backbone from cholesterol, which contributes to its biological activity, and a laurate chain that enhances its lipophilicity. Additionally, cholesteryl laurate may exhibit properties such as emulsification and surfactant activity, which can be beneficial in various industrial applications. Overall, its unique characteristics make it a subject of interest in both research and practical applications in the fields of biochemistry and material science.

CAS:Controlled Product<p>Cholesterol laurate is a natural substance found in plants and animals. It is an ester of cholesterol and lauric acid. Cholesterol laurate is a monolayer lipid with a transition temperature of about −30°C, making it liquid at room temperature. The molecule has been shown to form desmosterol, which is the precursor for cholesterol synthesis in humans. It has also been shown that cholesterol laurate can be used to produce campesterol and ketosteroids.</p>Formula:C39H68O2Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:568.96 g/mol
