Description

1,3-Di-(9E)-Palmitoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride featuring two palmitoleic acid moieties esterified at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions of a glycerol backbone. This specific molecular configuration is of significant interest for research and development in lipid science, particularly for studying metabolic pathways and membrane fluidity. It serves as a valuable synthetic intermediate and reference standard for laboratories in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and advanced chemical synthesis sectors.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a reference standard or substrate in lipid metabolism studies, enzyme assays (e.g., lipases), and investigations into fatty acid oxidation.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Acts as a key intermediate or building block for the synthesis of more complex lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as liposomes or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic R&D: Investigated for potential applications in specialized nutritional formulations and as a bioactive component in high-end skincare products targeting skin barrier function.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a starting material or intermediate for the organic synthesis of other structured lipids, glycerides, and fatty acid derivatives.
• Analytical Standards: Employed as a high-purity calibration standard in chromatographic analysis (HPLC, GC) for quality control in related product manufacturing.
