General description

Cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHEMS) is an acidic cholesterol ester. It self assembles into bilayers in alkaline and neutral aqueous media. CHEMS exhibits pH sensitive polymorphism. It consists of succinic acid esterified to the beta-hydroxyl group of cholesterol. This chemical modification results in the ability of CHEMS to adopt a lamellar assembly in suitable aqueous media, whereas cholesterol forms monohydrate crystals in an aqueous environment.[1]

Application

  • Experimental determination and computational interpretation of biophysical properties of lipid bilayers enriched by Cholesteryl Hemisuccinate: Provides insights into the effects of Cholesteryl Hemisuccinate on phospholipid bilayers, contributing to a deeper understanding of its biophysical properties (W Kulig et al., 2015).

A major hurdle towards in vivo utilization of pH-sensitive liposomes is their prompt sequestration by reticuloendothelial system and hence short circulation time. Prolonged circulation of liposomes is usually achieved by incorporation of pegylated lipids, which have been frequently reported to

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
