Description

Cholesteryl Hydrogen Succinate CAS NO 1510-20-9 is a high-purity cholesterol derivative where a succinic acid moiety is esterified to the cholesterol backbone. This compound is a critical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex steroidal compounds and functional materials, valued for its ability to impart lipophilic and self-assembling properties. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, advanced material science, and specialty chemical sectors for research and production purposes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key building block in the synthesis of steroidal drugs, prodrugs, and targeted drug delivery systems.
• Liposome & Nanoparticle Formulation: Used as a functional excipient to modify the surface properties and stability of lipid-based delivery vesicles.
• Bioconjugation Chemistry: Serves as a linker molecule for attaching hydrophobic moieties to proteins, peptides, or other biomolecules.
• Liquid Crystal & Advanced Material Research: Employed as a chiral dopant or mesogenic unit in the development of functional organic materials.
• Biomimetic Membrane Studies: Utilized in model membrane systems to study lipid raft formation and membrane protein interactions.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for creating novel lipophilic esters with potential skin-conditioning properties.
