Description

Sn-2-o-(cis-9)Octadecenylglycerol is a structured glycerolipid where an oleyl (cis-9-octadecenyl) moiety is specifically esterified at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. This specific molecular architecture is critical for applications requiring precise lipid behavior and metabolic pathways. It serves as a high-value intermediate and reference standard for research and development in advanced lipid chemistry. Key industries that utilize this compound include pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of targeted drug delivery systems and prodrugs due to its specific sn-2 fatty acid configuration.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and substrate for studying lipase specificity, lipid metabolism, and membrane biophysics.
• Nutraceutical Development: Investigated for use in structured lipids designed for improved nutritional absorption and metabolic benefits.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Employed in high-end skincare formulations for its emollient properties and potential skin barrier enhancement.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing novel, biodegradable non-ionic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB).
• Lipidomics & Analytical Standards: Essential for calibrating analytical instruments (GC, LC-MS) and quantifying complex lipid samples in research.
