Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name CHOLESTERYL SUCCINATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

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
