:

cholesteryl heptadecanoate crystalline

Description:
Cholesteryl heptadecanoate, with the CAS number 24365-37-5, is an ester formed from cholesterol and heptadecanoic acid (also known as margaric acid). This compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chains present in both the cholesterol and fatty acid components. Cholesteryl heptadecanoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. It exhibits a high melting point, indicative of its crystalline structure, which is influenced by the packing of the long-chain fatty acid and the steroidal backbone of cholesterol. This compound is of interest in biochemical and pharmaceutical research, particularly in studies related to lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics. Its properties can be affected by factors such as temperature and the presence of other lipids, making it relevant in the context of lipid bilayers and cellular membranes.
