Description

1,2-Di-o-Tetradecyl-3-o-(6-o-Glucopyranosyl-Glucopyranosyl)Glycerol is a specialized synthetic glycolipid, a derivative of glycerol linked to two tetradecyl (C14) chains and a sophorose disaccharide unit. This unique amphiphilic structure provides it with significant surface-active and self-assembly properties, making it a valuable non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. It is primarily utilized in advanced research and development within the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring biocompatible and precisely engineered molecular architectures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: As a key component in the formulation of novel drug delivery systems, including liposomes, niosomes, and other nanocarriers for targeted therapy.
• Cosmetic Science: Used in the development of high-end skincare and cosmetic formulations as a gentle, skin-compatible emulsifier and stabilizer for creams and lotions.
• Biomimetic Membrane Studies: Serves as a synthetic analog for natural glycolipids in constructing model membranes to study cell surface interactions and membrane protein functions.
• Specialty Surfactants: Employed in the synthesis of advanced surfactants and detergents where specific chain length and carbohydrate head groups are required for tailored hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB).
• Biochemical Research: Acts as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies and the synthesis of more complex glycoconjugates.
• Material Science: Utilized in the creation of functionalized surfaces, hydrogels, and other smart materials that require specific molecular recognition or biocompatibility.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
