Description

1,2-Dioctanoyl-3-Linoleoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a structured triacylglycerol (TAG) featuring a specific fatty acid profile with octanoic (C8:0) and linoleic (C18:2) acids. This precise molecular architecture is critical for applications requiring defined lipid behavior, bioavailability, and metabolic properties. It is a valuable synthetic intermediate and functional ingredient for advanced research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and specialty chemical industries.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard, metabolic tracer, or as a key building block in lipid-based drug delivery systems (e.g., lipid nanoparticles, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems - SEDDS).
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a model structured lipid for studying the metabolic effects of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) combined with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a substrate for lipase enzyme studies, lipid metabolism investigations, and membrane biophysics research.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate for the synthesis of more complex lipids, surfactants, or functional polymers.
• Cosmetic Science: Investigated for its potential emollient and skin-barrier enhancing properties in high-end cosmetic formulations.
