CAS 1989-52-2: Cholesteryl myristate
Description:Cholesteryl myristate is an ester formed from cholesterol and myristic acid, characterized by its long hydrophobic 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 primarily used in the field of biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, often studied for its role in lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics. Cholesteryl myristate can influence the fluidity and stability of lipid bilayers, making it relevant in the formulation of drug delivery systems and liposomes. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities, including potential effects on cell signaling and membrane interactions. Its properties, such as melting point and stability, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances. As with many lipid derivatives, it is important to handle cholesteryl myristate with care, considering its potential effects in biological systems and its applications in research and industry.
