Cholesteryl valerate

Description:

Cholesteryl valerate is an ester derived from cholesterol and valeric acid, characterized by its structural composition that includes a cholesterol backbone linked to a valerate group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its hydrophobic properties, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. Cholesteryl valerate is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly in drug delivery systems and as a model compound for lipid research. Its melting point and other physical properties can vary based on purity and environmental conditions. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, influencing membrane fluidity and cellular processes due to its cholesterol-derived structure. As with many esters, it is important to handle cholesteryl valerate with care, as it may have specific safety and toxicity considerations depending on the context of use.

Cholesterol Valerate

Controlled Product

CAS: 7726-03-6

Cholesterol Valerate is a fatty acid that has been used in the diagnosis of fatty acids. It can be obtained by synthesizing it from cholesterol and valeric anhydride. The carboxylic acid group in the molecule is responsible for its lipophilic properties, which allow it to dissolve in fats and oils. Cholesterol Valerate has a phase transition temperature of about -5 degrees Celsius, making it liquid at room temperature. This compound has been used as an excipient in pharmaceutical compositions, such as lipid emulsions and topical formulations to increase solubility. The termini of the molecule consist of hydroxyl groups that are susceptible to oxidation, making this compound unstable when exposed to air or sunlight.
