CAS 115144-39-3: rac-1,2-dimyristoyl-3-palmitoylglycerol

Description: Rac-1,2-dimyristoyl-3-palmitoylglycerol is a glycerolipid characterized by its structure, which consists of a glycerol backbone esterified with two myristic acid (C14) chains at the 1 and 2 positions and one palmitic acid (C16) chain at the 3 position. This compound is a type of triacylglycerol and is notable for its role in biological membranes and lipid metabolism. It exhibits hydrophobic properties due to the long fatty acid chains, making it insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. The presence of saturated fatty acids contributes to its stability and influences its melting point and physical state at room temperature. Rac-1,2-dimyristoyl-3-palmitoylglycerol can be used in various applications, including as a model compound in lipid research, in drug delivery systems, and as an emulsifier in food and cosmetic formulations. Its unique structural characteristics allow it to participate in various biochemical processes, including energy storage and membrane formation.
