CAS 750-59-4

19-hydroxycholesterol 3-acetate

Description:

19-Hydroxycholesterol 3-acetate, with the CAS number 750-59-4, is a derivative of cholesterol characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 19th carbon position and an acetate group at the 3rd carbon. This compound is part of the steroid family and exhibits properties typical of sterols, including a hydrophobic structure due to its multiple carbon rings. The hydroxyl group contributes to its polar characteristics, allowing for potential interactions with biological membranes and proteins. The acetate moiety enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its biological activity. 19-Hydroxycholesterol 3-acetate is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to steroid metabolism and signaling pathways. Its structural modifications can affect its reactivity and interactions with enzymes, making it a valuable compound for understanding cholesterol-related processes in biological systems. As with many steroid derivatives, it may also have implications in pharmacology and therapeutic applications, although specific biological activities would depend on the context of its use.
