Description

Cholesteryl Myristoleate is a high-purity cholesterol ester derived from myristoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and reference standard in advanced pharmaceutical and nutraceutical research. It is primarily sought by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the life sciences sector for applications in lipid metabolism studies, formulation development, and the synthesis of specialized bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents targeting lipid-related pathways.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and substrate in studies of cholesterol esterification, metabolism, and transport.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Employed as a specialized ingredient in the development of advanced dietary supplements and functional food products.
• Liposome & Drug Delivery Systems: Acts as a component in the formulation of lipid-based carriers to enhance drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Cosmetic Science: Utilized in high-end skincare formulations for its emollient properties and compatibility with skin lipids.
• Analytical Chemistry: Functions as a certified reference material (CRM) for calibration and quality control in chromatographic analyses (e.g., HPLC, GC).
