Description

1,3-Dipentadecanoin is a synthetic, symmetrical diglyceride where two pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) chains are esterified to the 1 and 3 positions of a glycerol backbone. This specific molecular architecture makes it a valuable reference standard and a versatile building block for lipid research and specialty chemical synthesis. It is particularly sought after by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced materials sectors. Its defined structure is critical for studying lipid metabolism, developing controlled-release formulations, and creating novel bio-based polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Development: Used as a high-purity reference standard and calibrant in analytical methods (GC, HPLC) for lipidomics and metabolic studies.
• Drug Delivery Systems: Serves as a lipid excipient or core material in the formulation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and other controlled-release carriers.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as an emollient and texture enhancer in high-end skincare products, providing stability and a non-greasy feel.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Functions as a key intermediate or substrate in the enzymatic or chemical synthesis of more complex lipids and surfactants.
• Nutritional Science: Employed in studies investigating the effects of odd-chain fatty acids and structured lipids on health.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or modifier for producing biodegradable polymers and specialty coatings.
