Description

1,2,3-Tri-(9Z-Hexadecenoyl)-Sn-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride where all three hydroxyl groups of the glycerol backbone are esterified with palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated ω-7 fatty acid. This specific molecular configuration is of significant interest for its unique physicochemical properties and potential biological activity. It serves as a critical high-purity biochemical intermediate and reference standard for research and development. Key industries requiring this compound include pharmaceutical development, advanced lipidomics research, and the synthesis of specialized surfactants or cosmetic actives.

Application

• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and key intermediate in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems and bioactive lipid formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a substrate or model compound in enzymatic studies (e.g., lipase activity) and metabolic pathway research related to monounsaturated fatty acids.
• Cosmetic Science: Investigated for its potential emollient and skin-barrier enhancing properties in high-end cosmetic and dermatological preparations.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed as a critical calibration standard in chromatographic (HPLC, GC) and mass spectrometric analysis for lipid profiling and quantification.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the synthesis of more complex structured lipids, phospholipids, or other ester derivatives with tailored functionalities.
