Description

1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-Lauroyl-Rac-Glycerol CAS NO 115144-38-2 is a synthetic, racemic triacylglycerol (TAG) composed of myristic and lauric acid esters. This structured lipid is significant for its defined fatty acid composition and positional distribution, offering a precise chemical tool for research and formulation. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications such as lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation, drug delivery systems, and as a reference standard.

Application

• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: Serves as a critical component or structural analog in the development of mRNA and siRNA delivery systems.
• Drug Delivery Research: Used as a model structured lipid to study encapsulation efficiency, release kinetics, and biocompatibility of lipid-based carriers.
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies of lipases and lipid metabolism pathways.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Functions as an emollient and texture enhancer in high-performance skincare formulations.
• Reference Standard: Provides a high-purity calibrant for analytical methods like HPLC and GC in quality control laboratories.
• Excipient Development: Investigated for use as a solubilizer or bioavailability enhancer in novel pharmaceutical formulations.
