:Cholesteryl arachidate
Description:
Cholesteryl arachidate is a chemical compound classified as a fatty acid ester, specifically an ester formed from cholesterol and arachidic acid. It is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long hydrocarbon chains of both the cholesterol and the arachidic acid components. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water, reflecting its lipophilic properties. Cholesteryl arachidate is often studied for its role in biological membranes and lipid bilayers, where it can influence membrane fluidity and stability. Additionally, it has applications in the field of biochemistry and pharmaceuticals, particularly in drug delivery systems and as a model compound for studying lipid interactions. Its molecular structure includes a steroid nucleus from cholesterol and a long-chain fatty acid, which contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties. Overall, cholesteryl arachidate serves as an important compound in both biological research and industrial applications.
