Description

1-Myristoyl-2-Palmitoyl-3-Butyryl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, structured triacylglycerol (TAG) with a defined fatty acid composition. This compound is significant for research and development in lipid science, offering a precise model for studying lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and as a calibrant for analytical methods. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical researchers, analytical laboratories, and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on lipid-based drug delivery systems, nutritional studies, and high-purity biochemical reagents.

Application

• Biochemical Research & Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard and calibrant in chromatographic analysis (HPLC, GC) for lipid profiling and quantification.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a model compound or an excipient in the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems, including liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs).
• Nutritional Science: Acts as a defined substrate for studying intestinal lipase activity, fat absorption, and metabolic pathways in nutritional research.
• Cosmetic Science: Potential use as a specialty emollient or structuring agent in high-end cosmetic formulations requiring specific lipid properties.
• Academic Research: Employed in studies of lipid bilayer properties, enzyme kinetics (e.g., phospholipases, lipases), and cell signaling mechanisms.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a key intermediate or building block for the synthesis of more complex, structured lipids with tailored functionalities.
