Cholesteryl n-butyrate

Cholesteryl n-butyrate is a cholesterol ester composed of cholesterol and butyrate, two naturally occurring substances. Cholesteryl n-butyrate can be used to synthesize solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with inhibitory activity on the adhesion and migration of colon cancer cells, providing a delivery system for the anticancer drug butyrate[1].
