Description

1,2-o-Dioctadecyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, high-purity lipid derivative, specifically a racemic mixture of a long-chain alkyl-substituted glycerol. This compound serves as a critical non-ionic surfactant and lipophilic building block for advanced material science and pharmaceutical research. It is essential for industries requiring precise control over molecular self-assembly, membrane fluidity, and hydrophobic interactions. Key users include manufacturers in liposome formulation, drug delivery systems, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Application

• Liposome and Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: As a structural lipid component to modulate membrane stability, rigidity, and encapsulation efficiency for drug delivery.
• Drug Delivery Systems: Used in the development of sustained-release carriers and targeted therapeutic vesicles.
• Biomimetic Membrane Research: A key reagent for creating model membrane systems to study biophysical properties and protein-lipid interactions.
• Non-ionic Surfactant: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in high-value specialty emulsions and cosmetic formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a versatile precursor for synthesizing more complex glycolipids, phospholipids, and other functionalized lipids.
• Reference Standard: Used as an analytical standard in pharmaceutical quality control and research laboratories.
