Description

Tridihomo-γ-Linolenoylglycerol CAS NO 129691-30-1 is a structured triglyceride where the fatty acid tridihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) is esterified to a glycerol backbone. This compound is valued for its role as a biochemical precursor and a specialized lipid source in advanced research and development. It is primarily sought by the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and life science industries for applications in lipidomics, metabolic studies, and the formulation of bioactive compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a key intermediate or reference standard in the study of eicosanoid biosynthesis, inflammation pathways, and metabolic disorders.
• Nutraceutical Development: Incorporated into specialized lipid formulations aimed at modulating prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) levels for targeted health benefits.
• Biochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for the synthesis of more complex lipids, prostaglandins, and other bioactive molecules in laboratory settings.
• Cell Culture & Lipidomics: Employed as a component in specialized cell culture media or as a standard in mass spectrometry for lipid profiling and identification.
• Cosmeceutical Research: Investigated for its potential skin-barrier modulating and anti-inflammatory properties in advanced skincare formulations.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used in HPLC, GC, and other analytical methods for the quantification and qualification of DGLA-containing compounds.
