Cholesteryl amidite (plant source) is a specialized phosphoramidite building block derived from botanical sterols, utilized primarily in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. The core process involves selective functionalization of plant-extracted cholesterol to introduce the reactive dimethoxytrityl-protected amino group.
Strictly store under inert atmosphere at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis. Avoid direct skin contact as it acts as a sensitizing agent; handle within a fume hood using appropriate PPE. Not intended for direct clinical administration without further conjugation.**
