Cholesteryl bromide

Description:

Cholesteryl bromide is an organic compound derived from cholesterol, characterized by the presence of a bromine atom attached to the cholesterol molecule. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. The compound has a molecular formula of C27H45Br and a relatively high molecular weight, reflecting its complex structure. Cholesteryl bromide is often used in biochemical research and applications, particularly in studies related to lipid membranes and cholesterol metabolism. Its unique properties allow it to serve as a model compound for investigating the behavior of cholesterol in biological systems. Additionally, it can be utilized in the synthesis of other chemical derivatives and in various pharmaceutical applications. As with many brominated compounds, it is important to handle cholesteryl bromide with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with bromine-containing substances.
