Description

1,2-Dioleoyl-3-Lauroyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triglyceride (TAG) composed of oleic and lauric acid residues. This specific fatty acid configuration is significant for its unique physicochemical properties, making it a valuable synthetic intermediate and functional lipid. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries for applications ranging from drug delivery systems to the study of lipid metabolism.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Drug Delivery: Used as a key component or model compound in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanoemulsions.
• Biochemical & Nutritional Studies: Serves as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies of lipases and in research on structured lipids for specialized nutrition.
• Reference Standard: Acts as a high-purity analytical standard for chromatography (HPLC, GC) to identify and quantify similar triglycerides in complex mixtures.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Employed as an emollient or conditioning agent in high-end skincare products due to its skin-compatible lipid profile.
• Synthetic Chemistry Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for the preparation of more complex glycerolipids or phospholipid analogs.
