Description

1-Myristoyl-2-Oleoyl-3-Butyryl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triacylglycerol (TAG) featuring a specific, asymmetrical fatty acid composition. This precise molecular architecture is critical for applications requiring controlled lipid behavior, such as in advanced lipid-based drug delivery systems and specialized nutritional formulations. It serves as a high-value synthetic intermediate and functional excipient for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and biochemical research sectors seeking reproducible and well-defined lipid matrices.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a structured lipid component in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS), and other advanced formulations to enhance drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies (e.g., lipase activity assays) and metabolic research due to its defined fatty acid profile.
• Nutraceutical Development: Employed in the formulation of specialized medical nutrition and performance supplements where targeted fatty acid delivery is desired.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Acts as an emollient and carrier in high-end cosmetic and dermatological preparations requiring specific lipid properties.
• Synthetic Intermediate: A key building block for the chemical synthesis of more complex, tailored glycerides and phospholipids.
