Description

Cholesterol Myrisate is a high-purity, synthetic cholesterol ester derived from cholesterol and myristic acid. This compound is valued for its role as a critical intermediate and functional additive in advanced pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and manufacturers in the life sciences, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality lipid components.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a standard or intermediate in the synthesis of liposomal drug delivery systems and other lipid-based therapeutics.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emollient and stabilizer in high-end creams, lotions, and other skincare products.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or model compound in studies of lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and enzyme activity.
• Liposome & Nanoparticle Preparation: A key lipid component for constructing stable, uniform vesicles for targeted delivery applications.
• Reference Standard: Employed as an analytical standard in quality control laboratories for HPLC, GC, or TLC methods.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a building block for the production of more complex sterol derivatives and surfactants.
