:Retinol, 15-hexadecanoate, 11-cis-
Description:
Retinol, 15-hexadecanoate, 11-cis- (CAS 51249-33-3) is a derivative of vitamin A, specifically a retinoid, which plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including vision, growth, and immune function. This compound is characterized by its esterification of retinol with hexadecanoic acid, which enhances its lipophilicity and stability. The "11-cis" configuration indicates a specific geometric arrangement of the double bond in the molecule, which is essential for its biological activity, particularly in the visual cycle where it is involved in the formation of rhodopsin in retinal photoreceptor cells. Retinol derivatives are known for their roles in skin health and are commonly used in dermatological applications for their ability to promote cell turnover and improve skin texture. The compound is typically a yellow to orange solid or oil, and it is sensitive to light and oxygen, necessitating careful storage conditions to maintain its efficacy. Overall, retinol esters like this one are significant in both biological systems and therapeutic applications.
