Description

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Myristoylglycerol is a synthetic, structured triglyceride composed of palmitic and myristic acid residues. This specific fatty acid configuration is critical for applications requiring precise lipid composition and controlled physical properties. It serves as a valuable intermediate and functional ingredient for advanced research and product development in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used in the formulation of lipid-based drug delivery systems (LBDDS), including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) to enhance drug solubility and bioavailability.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or substrate in lipid metabolism studies, enzyme assays (e.g., lipases), and membrane biophysics research.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Potential component in structured lipids designed for specialized nutritional and medical food products.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as an emollient and texture enhancer in high-end skincare products, contributing to skin barrier function.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity calibrant in analytical chemistry, particularly in chromatographic techniques like HPLC and GC for lipid analysis.

Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Myristoylglycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure high chemical purity and structural integrity, suitable for demanding research and formulation work. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic purity data are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep the sealed container in a freezer at -20°C. Allow the product to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
