Description	Cholesterol is commonly used as an excipient in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the formulation of liposomal and lipid-based drug delivery systems. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing and enhancing the structural integrity of lipid bilayers, thereby improving the encapsulation and controlled release of therapeutic agents. Cholesterol's amphipathic nature enables it to enhance the permeability and fluidity of cell membranes, which facilitates better absorption and bioavailability of encapsulated drugs. Its biocompatibility and ability to interact with phospholipids to stabilize liposomes make cholesterol a valuable component in the development of formulations for both water-soluble and lipophilic drugs.
