Description

1,2-Dimyristoyl-3-Palmitoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, high-purity triacylglycerol (TAG) composed of myristic and palmitic acid chains. This well-defined lipid is critical for research and development where precise molecular composition and purity are paramount. It serves as a key reference standard and functional ingredient for scientists and formulators in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced lipid research sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used for the calibration and validation of analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, GC) in lipidomics and drug development.
• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Research: Acts as a structurally defined component in the development of novel lipid-based drug delivery systems, including mRNA vaccines and therapeutics.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or model compound in enzymatic studies of lipases, phospholipases, and lipid metabolism pathways.
• Nutraceutical & Specialty Nutrition: A potential structured lipid for investigating controlled release and targeted delivery of bioactive compounds.
• Cosmetic Science: Employed in R&D for high-end skincare formulations requiring specific emollient and occlusive properties.
• Material Science: Used in the synthesis of specialized surfactants, lubricants, and biodegradable polymers.
