Cholesteryl hemisuccinate
Cholesteryl hemisuccinate is a dicarboxylic acid monoester resulting from the formal condensation of the hydroxy group of cholesterol with one of the carboxy groups of succinic acid. A detergent that is often used to replace cholesterol in protein crystallography, biochemical studies of proteins, and pharmacology. It has a role as a detergent. It is a cholestane ester, a hemisuccinate and a dicarboxylic acid monoester. It is functionally related to a cholesterol. — ChEBI
