Description

1-Arachidoyl-2-Palmitoyl-3-Oleoyl-Rac-Glycerol CAS NO 81637-57-2 is a well-defined, high-purity structured triglyceride (TAG) synthesized from specific fatty acids. This compound serves as a critical reference standard and a versatile building block for advanced lipid research and formulation development. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries who require precise lipid structures for metabolic studies, drug delivery systems, and functional food ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the identification and quantification of complex lipids in drug formulations and biological samples via analytical techniques like HPLC and mass spectrometry.
• Lipidomics & Metabolic Research: A crucial tool for studying lipid metabolism, enzyme specificity (e.g., lipases), and the biochemical pathways of structured triglycerides in vitro and in vivo.
• Drug Delivery Vehicle: Acts as a component in lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS), to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Nutraceutical & Functional Food Ingredient: Employed in the development of specialized nutritional products and medical foods designed for targeted metabolic effects or controlled energy release.
• Biochemical Reagent: Serves as a substrate for investigating the activity and kinetics of lipases, phospholipases, and other lipid-modifying enzymes.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Used as an emollient and conditioning agent in high-end skincare products, providing unique texture and stability properties.
• Synthetic Lipid Chemistry: Functions as a key intermediate for the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of more complex, asymmetrically structured lipids for specialized applications.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1-Arachidoyl-2-Palmitoyl-3-Oleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon. Allow the product to warm to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
