Description

1-Stearoyl-2-Myristoylglycerol is a structured diacylglycerol (DAG) molecule, a key intermediate and functional lipid in advanced chemical synthesis and formulation. This compound matters for its role as a building block in creating specialized lipids, emulsifiers, and pharmaceutical excipients with tailored physical and metabolic properties. Industries that need it include pharmaceutical development for drug delivery systems, cosmetics for skin-compatible emollients, and food science for structuring fats and improving nutritional profiles.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a lipid matrix component in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for controlled drug delivery.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Serves as a high-performance emollient and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and makeup formulations, providing a non-greasy feel.
• Food Science Research: Acts as a model structured lipid or intermediate in the study of fat metabolism and the development of functional food ingredients.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies of lipases and lipid metabolism pathways.
• Chemical Synthesis: Functions as a versatile chiral intermediate for the synthesis of more complex glycerolipids, phospholipids, and prodrugs.
• Nutraceutical Formulation: Incorporated into dietary supplements as a specialized lipid component designed for specific nutritional benefits.

Quality Control

Our 1-Stearoyl-2-Myristoylglycerol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, related substances, and physical characteristics are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C or as indicated on the label or COA. For long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to minimize oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
