Cholesteryl caprylate is an ester of cholesterol and caprylic acid that is investigated in the fields of lipid and materials science. Its amphiphilic nature makes it a compound in the study of lipid bilayers and cell membrane models, providing insights into lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions that are fundamental to cell biology. The incorporation of cholesteryl caprylate into liposomes and other lipid-based delivery systems is of particular interest for its potential to modify the fluidity and permeability of these constructs. The cholesteryl group contributes to the stability and order within these phases, while the caprylate moiety can influence the mesomorphic behavior of the material.
