Description

Cholesteryl laurate (CAS 1908-11-8) is a high-purity cholesteryl ester derived from cholesterol and lauric acid, with the molecular formula C₃₉H₆₈O₂. This compound is widely utilized in biochemical and biophysical research due to its role in lipid metabolism, membrane dynamics, and cholesterol transport studies. Its IUPAC name, [(3S,8S,9S,10R,13R,14S,17R)-10,13-dimethyl-17-[(2R)-6-methylheptan-2-yl]-2,3,4,7,8,9,11,12,14,15,16,17-dodecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl] dodecanoate, reflects its complex sterol structure. Cholesteryl laurate is a white to off-white crystalline powder, soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol, but insoluble in water. It is ideal for applications in LC-MS, HPLC, and NMR analysis, as well as for formulating lipid-based delivery systems. Store at 2-8°C in a tightly sealed container to ensure stability.
