Description

7-Aminocholesterol is a functionalized sterol derivative featuring a primary amine group at the C-7 position of the cholesterol backbone. This modification makes it a valuable synthetic intermediate and a versatile building block for the development of novel bioactive compounds and advanced materials. It is particularly relevant for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and life science sectors. The compound is supplied under the reference CAS NO 156856-03-0.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of novel steroid-based drug candidates, including potential hormone modulators and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: The primary amine group enables covalent attachment to fluorescent dyes, affinity tags (e.g., biotin), or other molecules for creating biological probes and diagnostic tools.
• Lipid Membrane Research: Used to study membrane fluidity, structure, and function by incorporating the modified sterol into liposomes and model membranes.
• Material Science: Serves as a chiral building block for the synthesis of liquid crystals, polymers, and other advanced organic materials with specific steric properties.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in enzymatic studies and as a standard in analytical method development for sterol analysis.
