Description

1,2-Dipentadecanoyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic glyceride ester, specifically a 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) with two pentadecanoic acid chains. This compound is a valuable high-purity biochemical intermediate and a model lipid for advanced research and development. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical manufacturers requiring well-defined lipid structures for formulation, synthesis, and analytical studies.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of complex lipids, phospholipids, and prodrugs.
• Biochemical Standard: Used as a high-purity reference standard in lipidomics, chromatography (HPLC, GC), and mass spectrometry.
• Cosmetic Formulation: Acts as a non-ionic emollient and conditioning agent in high-end skincare and haircare products.
• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Development: Investigated as a component in the lipid matrix for drug delivery systems, including mRNA vaccines and therapeutics.
• Cell Membrane Studies: Employed in biophysical research to study membrane fluidity, permeability, and protein-lipid interactions.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A precursor for manufacturing specialized, mild surfactants for industrial and personal care applications.
