Description

1,3-Dieicosenoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride where two eicosenoic acid (C20:1) chains are esterified at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions of a glycerol backbone. This specific molecular configuration is significant for its role as a high-purity biochemical standard and a key synthetic intermediate in lipid research and specialty chemical manufacturing. It is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial laboratories focused on lipidomics, the development of structured lipids for nutritional applications, and the synthesis of advanced surfactants or cosmetic emollients.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Used as a high-purity reference compound in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and analytical method development.
• Structured Lipid Synthesis: Serves as a critical intermediate for producing tailored triglycerides with specific nutritional or functional properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Investigated for use in lipid-based drug delivery systems to enhance bioavailability of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Cosmetic Ingredient Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of specialty emollients and skin-conditioning agents for high-end personal care formulations.
• Nutritional Science: Applied in research on fat absorption and metabolism, particularly for studies involving monounsaturated long-chain fatty acids.
• Industrial Lubricant & Surfactant Precursor: Acts as a building block for synthesizing biodegradable lubricants and non-ionic surfactants.
