CAS 35602-69-8: Cholesteryl stearate
Description:Cholesteryl stearate is an ester formed from cholesterol and stearic acid, characterized by its hydrophobic nature and solid-state at room temperature. It appears as a white to off-white powder or crystalline solid. This compound is primarily used in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in drug delivery systems, due to its biocompatibility and ability to form lipid bilayers. Cholesteryl stearate exhibits low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. Its melting point is relatively high, reflecting its lipid-like properties. The substance plays a role in stabilizing emulsions and can influence the release rates of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Additionally, cholesteryl stearate is studied for its potential applications in cosmetic formulations and as a component in various lipid-based delivery systems. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but like all chemical substances, it should be handled with appropriate safety measures in laboratory and industrial settings.
