Usage

General Description

Octyl hydrogen sulphate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H17O4S. It is a type of organic sulphate ester, and is commonly used as an emulsifying agent and surfactant in various industrial and consumer products, including cosmetics, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. Octyl hydrogen sulphate is known for its ability to stabilize emulsions by reducing the surface tension between oil and water, allowing them to mix and form a stable mixture. It also has cleansing and foaming properties, making it a popular ingredient in shampoos and other cleansing products. However, it is important to note that octyl hydrogen sulphate can be a skin and eye irritant, and should be used with caution in products intended for use on the skin or in close proximity to the eyes.

Enantioselective stereoinversion in the kinetic resolution of rac-sec-alkyl sulfate esters by hydrolysis with an alkylsulfatase from Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541 furnishes homochiral products

The biocatalytic hydrolysis of (±)-sec-alkyl sulfate esters with an alkylsulfatase from Rhodococcus ruber DSM 44541 proceeded with high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee) and with absolute stereoselectivity through inversion of configuration. Thus, a rac substrate was converted into homochiral S-configured products (see scheme).

ENZYMIC SYNTHESIS OF STEROID SULFATES XVI. SPECIFICITY AND REGULATION OF HUMAN ADRENAL HYDROXYSTEROID SULFOTRANSFERASE

Pure hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase (EG 2.8.2.2) of human adrenal glands possesses a wide substrate specificity towards steroids.This wide specificity has now been found to extend to simple alcohols; normal aliphatic alcohols from C3 onwards acting as substrates with C9 showing the highest rate.Increased rate was accompanied by a decrease in Km.In marked contrast to the sulfurylation of steroids such as dehydroepiandrosterone, which exhibit wave-like kinetics, the kinetics with simple alcohols were of the normal Michaelis-Menten type.By means of enzyme antibody and enzyme stability studies evidence was provided that one and the same enzyme was responsible for sulfurylation of hydroxyls on the 3- and 17-positions of steroids and simple alcohols.The data lend support to previous evidence that the enzyme controls the secretion of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate via steroid-specific binding sites, enabling self-regulation in response to ACTH action.
