Description

1-Oleoyl-Sn-Glycerol is a high-purity monoacylglycerol (MAG) derivative, specifically the 1-ester of glycerol with oleic acid. This compound is a critical intermediate and functional ingredient valued for its amphiphilic properties and role in lipid metabolism research. It is essential for manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced lipid chemistry sectors seeking a well-defined, high-quality building block for synthesis or formulation.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of more complex glycerolipids, phospholipids, and prodrugs.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies of lipases, phospholipases, and lipid metabolic pathways.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as a non-ionic emulsifier and bioavailability enhancer for lipid-soluble active ingredients.
• Model Lipid System Component: Employed in the creation of model membranes and lipid vesicles (liposomes) for drug delivery research.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a chromatographic reference standard (HPLC, GC) for quality control in lipid analysis.
• Surfactant Chemistry: A starting material for the production of specialized, biodegradable surfactants and emulsifiers.

Quality Control

Our 1-Oleoyl-Sn-Glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC), identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
