Popis: A simplified procedure is described for the synthesis and purification of labelled cholesteryl esters. The esters are synthesized enzymatically from (4-14C) cholesterol and free fatty acids. The separation of the lipids from aqueous medium is simplified by lyophilizing the reaction mixture at equilibrium. The lipid components of the freeze-dried powder are separated by silicic acid chromatography. The radiochemical purity of the product was shown to be greater than 98%.
