Description

1,2-Dimyristoyl-Sn-Glycerol is a high-purity synthetic glyceride, specifically a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol with myristic acid chains. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis and lipid research. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries developing lipid-based drug delivery systems, emulsifiers, and novel biomaterials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of phospholipids, glycolipids, and other complex lipids for drug delivery applications such as liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs).
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, particularly with phospholipases and lipases, to investigate lipid metabolism and signaling pathways.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a non-ionic emulsifier and emollient base in high-end skincare products, contributing to texture and stability.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Serves as a foundational molecule for creating tailored surfactants and emulsifiers with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Model Membrane Systems: Utilized in biophysical studies to construct model lipid bilayers and monolayers for membrane protein research.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a chromatographic reference standard in analytical laboratories for quality control of lipid-based products.
