Description

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-myristoyl-rac-glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) of significant interest in advanced lipid research and formulation. This compound matters for its precisely defined fatty acid composition, offering a model system for studying lipid metabolism, crystallization behavior, and delivery mechanisms. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries developing lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS), functional food ingredients, and high-purity biochemical standards.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Lipid-Based Drug Delivery Systems (LBDDS): Serves as a critical excipient or model compound for enhancing the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs.
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Development: Used in the formulation of structured lipids designed for specific nutritional or metabolic benefits.
• Biochemical & Metabolic Studies: Acts as a standard or substrate for investigating lipase activity, lipid digestion, and absorption pathways.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity calibrant in analytical techniques like HPLC and mass spectrometry for lipidomics.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Utilized in premium skincare products for its emollient properties and skin barrier support.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a key intermediate or building block for synthesizing more complex lipid derivatives and phospholipids.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Dioleoyl-2-myristoyl-rac-glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and formulation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, related substances, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon), as the compound is easily oxidized. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
