CAS: 1180-43-4

Ref. 3D-FC70230

Product Information

• Name: Cholesteryl isobutyrate
• Synonyms: 5-Cholesten-3beta-ol 3-isobutyrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cholesteryl isobutyrate is a diagnostic target tissue for cancer. It is a fatty acid that is metabolized by 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, which converts it to the corresponding alcohol. Cholesteryl isobutyrate can be detected in urine samples with a chromatographic method and coatings. The fusogenic properties of cholesteryl isobutyrate make it an excellent film-forming polymer for drug delivery systems. The phase transition temperature of cholesteryl isobutyrate has been determined to be around 27°C, which makes it an ideal candidate for cellular drug delivery applications.
