Description

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-Heptadecanoyl Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) with a specific fatty acid configuration at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions of the glycerol backbone. This precise molecular architecture is critical for applications requiring controlled lipid digestion, absorption, and metabolic response. It serves as a high-value synthetic intermediate and functional ingredient for advanced research and product development in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in lipid-based drug delivery systems to enhance bioavailability.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: A key component in structured lipids designed for specialized medical nutrition, infant formula, and sports nutrition products.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate for studying lipase enzyme specificity, lipid metabolism, and the biochemical pathways of triglyceride synthesis and breakdown.
• Cosmetic Science: Employed in high-end skincare formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent with unique occlusive properties.
• Food Science: Investigated for the development of functional foods with tailored nutritional profiles and improved physical properties.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex lipids, phospholipids, and other ester derivatives.
