:cholesteryl linoelaidate crystalline
Description:
Cholesteryl linoelaidate is an ester formed from cholesterol and linoelaidic acid, characterized by its crystalline structure. It is a member of the class of compounds known as sterol esters, which are important in biological systems and can influence membrane fluidity and stability. This compound typically exhibits a high melting point due to its crystalline nature, making it solid at room temperature. Cholesteryl linoelaidate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, reflecting the hydrophobic characteristics of both its cholesterol and fatty acid components. It is often studied for its role in lipid metabolism and its potential implications in health and disease, particularly in relation to cardiovascular health. The compound's unique properties make it of interest in both biochemical research and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and nutrition. As with many sterol esters, it may also serve as a model compound for studying lipid interactions in biological membranes.
