:cholesteryl tridecanoate
Description:
Cholesteryl tridecanoate is an ester derived from cholesterol and tridecanoic acid, characterized by its long hydrocarbon chain and steroidal structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or waxy substance, exhibiting low solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature, while being more soluble in organic solvents like chloroform and ethanol. Cholesteryl tridecanoate is known for its role in lipid metabolism and is often studied in the context of biological membranes and lipid bilayers, where it can influence membrane fluidity and stability. Its melting point and thermal properties are influenced by the length of the fatty acid chain, which contributes to its physical characteristics. Additionally, this compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetic formulations, where it can serve as an emollient or thickening agent. As with many lipid derivatives, it is important to handle cholesteryl tridecanoate with care, considering its potential biological effects and interactions in various chemical environments.
