cholesteryl erucate

Description:
Cholesteryl erucate is an ester formed from cholesterol and erucic acid, characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain. 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 biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in drug delivery systems and as a component in lipid-based formulations. Cholesteryl erucate exhibits properties typical of lipids, including the ability to form lipid bilayers and micelles, which are crucial for cellular membrane structure and function. Its unique structure allows it to participate in various biochemical interactions, making it valuable in research related to membrane dynamics and lipid metabolism. Additionally, cholesteryl erucate can serve as a model compound for studying the behavior of cholesterol esters in biological systems. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many organic compounds, to avoid potential health hazards.
