1,2-di-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol

Description:

1,2-di-O-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol, with the CAS number 13071-60-8, is a synthetic glycerol derivative characterized by the presence of two hexadecyl (C16) alkyl chains attached to the glycerol backbone at the first and second positions. This compound is a type of glycerolipid and is often utilized in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications due to its amphiphilic nature, which allows it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and methanol, but has limited solubility in water. The presence of long-chain fatty acids contributes to its hydrophobic properties, making it useful in formulations that require stabilization of emulsions or as a component in liposomal drug delivery systems. Additionally, its structural characteristics may influence its biological activity, making it a subject of interest in studies related to membrane dynamics and cellular interactions.
