Description

1,3-Ditridecanoyl Glycerol is a synthetic glyceride ester, specifically a 1,3-diacylglycerol where both acyl groups are derived from tridecanoic acid. This compound is valued for its role as a high-purity chemical intermediate and a model compound in lipid research and development. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring defined lipid structures.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs).
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly those involving lipases and phospholipases, to understand lipid metabolism.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as an emollient and texture enhancer in high-end skincare products, contributing to skin barrier function and product stability.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: A key precursor for manufacturing non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Nutritional Science: Employed in research on dietary fats and the metabolic effects of specific diacylglycerol (DAG) isomers.
• Reference Standard: Used as a chromatographic reference standard (e.g., in HPLC or GC analysis) for quality control in lipid-related manufacturing.
