Hexadecanoic-16,16,16-d3acid, 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester (9CI)

Description:

Hexadecanoic-16,16,16-d3 acid, 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester (9CI), also known as tristearin-d3, is a triglyceride derived from hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid) where the hydrogen atoms at the 16th carbon position are replaced with deuterium isotopes. This compound is characterized by its long-chain fatty acid structure, which contributes to its hydrophobic properties and makes it a solid at room temperature. As a triglyceride, it consists of three fatty acid molecules esterified to a glycerol backbone, which influences its physical properties, such as melting point and solubility. The presence of deuterium allows for applications in isotopic labeling and tracing in biochemical studies. Tristearin-d3 is typically used in research settings, particularly in studies involving lipid metabolism and the behavior of fatty acids in biological systems. Its stability and inertness under physiological conditions make it a valuable tool in various analytical techniques, including mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
