Cholesteryl butyrate

Description:

Cholesteryl butyrate is an ester formed from cholesterol and butyric acid, characterized by its unique structure that combines a steroid backbone with a butyrate side chain. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water, reflecting the hydrophobic nature of cholesterol derivatives. Cholesteryl butyrate is known for its role in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics. It can serve as a model compound for investigating the behavior of cholesterol esters in biological systems. The presence of the butyrate group may impart specific biological activities, including potential effects on cellular signaling pathways. Additionally, cholesteryl butyrate can be used in various applications, including drug delivery systems and as a component in lipid-based formulations. Its stability and compatibility with biological membranes make it a valuable compound in both pharmaceutical and biochemical research contexts.

Cholesterol butyrate is a fatty acid that has been shown to have antimicrobial activity against Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is also used as a treatment for trigeminal neuralgia and bowel disease. Cholesterol butyrate has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro by inducing apoptosis. This compound may be effective in the treatment of cancer due to its photostability and ability to bind with lipoproteins and other compounds, which leads to an increased concentration of cholesterol butyrate at the site of inflammation. Cholesterol butyrate has also been shown to be effective in preventing inflammatory bowel disease by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
