Product Information

• Name: Ethyl stearate
• Synonyms: Octadecanoic acid ethyl esterStearic acid ethyl esterEthyl n-octadecanoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl stearate is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of esters. It has significant cytotoxicity, as shown by its ability to inhibit the growth of cultured human cells in a dose-dependent manner. Ethyl stearate can be used as an analytical method for determining the concentration of ethyl decanoate in human serum and fetal bovine serum. The mechanism of this reaction involves inhibition of enzymes that catalyze reactions involving hydroxyl groups, such as acetylcholinesterase and phosphodiesterase. This substance has also been used in pharmacological studies as a potential biomarker for identifying environmental exposure to xenoestrogens.
