Brief Introduction:

Cholesterol is a derivative of cyclopentanepolyhydrophenanthrene with the chemical formula C27H46O, it is a white or light yellow crystal. Cholesterol is the main steroid compound in mammals and plays an important role in basic cellular life activities.



Solubility:

Soluble in ether, acetone, chloroform, dioxane, ethyl acetate and vegetable oil, slightly soluble in alcohol, and hardly soluble in water.

Applications of Cholesterol:

① Used to produce vitamin D3 and steroid hormones;

② Used as a multifunctional cosmetic additive with biological activity;

③ Used in liquid crystal display materials;

④ Cholesterol is a precursor for the synthesis of molting hormone, which can promote the smooth molting of shrimp and improve growth performance and survival rate;

⑤ Cholesterol is widely used in the construction and research of drug delivery systems in the field of medical research. Cholesterol can combine with drugs to form cholesterol-drug complexes, promoting targeted drug delivery. In addition, cholesterol can also be assembled into carriers such as nanoparticles with other functional materials to achieve drug protection and sustained release.
