Cholesteryl oleate is an ester compound formed from Cholesterol and Oleic acid, involved in lipid transport, storage, and cell membrane formation in living organisms. It may serve as a potential biomarker for prostate cancer and can be used to prepare cationic solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) for efficient gene silencing.
