Description

1,2-Didodecanoyl-3-Tetra-Decanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic triacylglycerol (TAG) with a defined fatty acid composition. This structured lipid is valued for its role as a high-purity standard, reference material, and a versatile chemical intermediate in advanced research and development. It is primarily needed by manufacturers and researchers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications such as lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation, excipient development, and as a model compound for metabolic studies.

Application

• As a critical component or reference standard in the formulation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug delivery systems.
• Used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as an emollient, stabilizer, or texture enhancer.
• Serves as a high-purity biochemical reagent and model substrate for enzymatic and metabolic pathway studies.
• Acts as a specialized chemical intermediate in the synthesis of more complex lipids or prodrugs.
• Employed in nutritional science research to study the absorption and metabolism of structured triglycerides.
• Potential use as a carrier or solubilizing agent for lipophilic active ingredients in various industries.
