Description

1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-Oleoylglycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) with a specific fatty acid arrangement, where palmitic acid occupies the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and oleic acid is at the sn-2 position. This precise molecular configuration is critical for its unique physical and metabolic properties, making it a valuable synthetic lipid standard and a component in advanced lipid research and formulation. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring defined lipid structures.

Application

• Biochemical Research Standard: Serves as a high-purity reference standard in lipidomics, chromatography (HPLC, GC), and mass spectrometry for the identification and quantification of complex lipids.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient Development: Used in the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS) such as self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) to enhance drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Nutritional Science Studies: Employed as a model compound to study the digestion, absorption, and metabolic fate of structured triglycerides, particularly relevant to infant formula and medical nutrition.
• Synthetic Lipid Intermediate: Acts as a key building block or starting material for the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of more complex, tailored glycerolipids and phospholipids.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Incorporated into high-end skincare products as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent that mimics natural skin lipids.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-Oleoylglycerol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, typically including data from HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. We support compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks for research materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) at -20°C or below for long-term stability, as the compound is easily oxidized. For short-term use, storage at 2-8°C is acceptable. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
