Cholesterol Formate is primarily employed as a model compound for studying esterified cholesterol transport and metabolism in lipid bilayers. Researchers use it to investigate lipoprotein interactions, atherosclerosis mechanisms, and sterol-protein binding assays. It also serves as a precursor for synthesizing labeled cholesterol derivatives in tracer studies. In industrial settings, it finds use in stabilizing lipid-based drug delivery systems.
