The cholesterol hemisuccinate Tris salt had been prepared as follows. Cholesterol hydrogen succinate (50.3 g, 0.11 moles) from ICN, Cleveland, Ohio, was dissolved in 1.5 liters of diethyl ether. Tris base (12.1 g, 0.1 moles) from Fisher, Fairlawn, N.J., was dissolved in 30 ml of water. The Tris solution was then added to the cholesterol solution, and the resulting solution was rotoevaporated to a milky wet residue. The milky residue was freeze dried for 12 hours, after which the cholesterol hemisuccinate Tris salt product was recrystallized three times from about 5-liter volumes of boiling ethyl acetate.
