Description

19-Iodocholesteryl Oleate is a specialized iodinated cholesterol derivative where the cholesterol moiety is esterified with oleic acid. This compound is a valuable biochemical tool and synthetic intermediate, prized for its unique structure that combines the properties of cholesterol with a halogenated site and a long-chain fatty acid ester. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical development companies engaged in lipid metabolism studies, membrane biophysics research, and the synthesis of more complex labeled sterol compounds for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a probe or substrate in studies investigating cholesterol transport, metabolism, and membrane dynamics.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key synthetic building block for the development of radioiodinated or fluorescently labeled cholesterol analogs for imaging and diagnostic purposes.
• Lipidomics & Analytical Standards: Employed as a reference standard in mass spectrometry and chromatography for the identification and quantification of complex lipid species.
• Material Science: Investigated for potential use in the fabrication of specialized lipid layers or vesicles with modified physical properties.
