Description

Cholesteryl 10-Undecenoate is a high-purity, synthetic cholesterol derivative where the fatty acid moiety is replaced with 10-undecenoic acid. This specific esterification is crucial for applications requiring a lipophilic, bioactive cholesterol backbone with a terminal alkene group for further chemical modification. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, advanced material science, and specialty chemical sectors for use as a key intermediate or functional monomer.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, nanoparticles) and prodrug development.
• Polymer Science & Advanced Materials: Serves as a functional monomer for creating specialty polymers, liquid crystals, or smart materials, leveraging the reactive terminal double bond for polymerization or cross-linking.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Development: Acts as a building block for synthesizing fluorescent or bioactive cholesterol analogs used in cellular imaging and biochemical research.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care R&D: Investigated for use in high-end cosmetic formulations requiring stable, biomimetic lipid components.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reference standard and starting material for chemical and biological studies involving cholesterol metabolism and membrane biology.
