Description

24-Methylcholestane-3,5,6,22,24-Pentol 6-Acetate CAS NO 96736-31-1 is a high-purity, multi-hydroxylated sterol derivative, specifically acetylated at the 6-position. This compound serves as a critical advanced intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis and analytical characterization of complex steroid-based molecules. It is primarily required by pharmaceutical R&D laboratories and specialty chemical manufacturers engaged in developing novel therapeutic agents or biochemical probes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel steroid-based drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard or substrate in enzymatic studies and metabolic pathway investigations.
• Analytical Chemistry: Serves as a high-purity calibration standard for chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic analysis.
• Steroid Chemistry Development: Facilitates research into new chemical modifications and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of sterol compounds.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Employed in universities and research institutes for studies in organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, and biochemistry.

Quality Control

Our 24-Methylcholestane-3,5,6,22,24-Pentol 6-Acetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is light-sensitive (store away from light) and may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere when not in use to prevent degradation.
