Description

1,2-Dibutyryl-3-Palmitoyl-Rac-Glycerol CAS NO 74055-98-4 is a synthetic, structured triacylglycerol (TAG) featuring a specific combination of butyryl and palmitoyl fatty acid chains. This precise molecular architecture makes it a valuable high-purity biochemical intermediate for advanced research and development. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical manufacturers exploring lipid-based drug delivery systems, metabolic studies, and the synthesis of complex lipid analogs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: As a model compound or intermediate in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., liposomes, solid lipid nanoparticles).
• Biochemical Studies: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic assays to study lipase activity, lipid metabolism, and absorption pathways.
• Nutraceutical Development: A potential structured lipid for investigating novel nutritional formulations with targeted metabolic effects.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex, tailored glycerides and phospholipids.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A high-purity reference material for analytical method development and lipidomics research.
