1-O-hexadecyl-2-3-dipalmitoyl-*rac-glycerol

Description:

1-O-Hexadecyl-2,3-dipalmitoyl-*rac-glycerol, commonly referred to as a glycerolipid, is a synthetic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a hexadecyl (C16) alkyl chain and two palmitoyl (C16) fatty acid chains attached to the glycerol backbone. This compound is amphiphilic, possessing both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, which makes it useful in various applications, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and pharmaceuticals. Its amphiphilic nature allows it to form micelles or lipid bilayers, making it relevant in drug delivery systems and as a component in liposomes. The presence of the hexadecyl group enhances its membrane-penetrating capabilities, while the palmitoyl groups contribute to its stability and interaction with biological membranes. Additionally, this compound can serve as a model for studying lipid interactions and membrane dynamics. Its CAS number, 1116-45-6, is a unique identifier that facilitates its recognition in chemical databases and literature.
