Monoglycerides, C14-22

Description:

Monoglycerides, C14-22, with the CAS number 68990-53-4, are a class of glycerol esters derived from fatty acids that contain between 14 and 22 carbon atoms. These compounds typically consist of a glycerol backbone esterified with one fatty acid, resulting in a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail, which imparts amphiphilic properties. Monoglycerides are commonly used as emulsifiers, stabilizers, and surfactants in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations due to their ability to enhance the mixing of oil and water phases. They exhibit low toxicity and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food products. Additionally, these substances can influence the texture and shelf life of products by preventing separation and improving moisture retention. Their solubility and behavior in various environments can vary based on the specific fatty acid chain length and degree of saturation, affecting their functional properties in applications. Overall, monoglycerides, C14-22, play a significant role in various industries due to their versatile characteristics.

Monoglycerides

CAS: 68990-53-4

Monoglycerides are a type of lipid that are naturally produced in the human body. They have been studied for their potential use as anticancer agents due to their ability to inhibit tumor kinases, which play a key role in cancer cell growth and survival. Monoglycerides have also been found in Chinese medicinal herbs and have been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various ailments. Recent studies have shown that monoglyceride analogs can induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells and may be effective inhibitors of protein kinases involved in tumorigenesis. Additionally, monoglycerides have been detected in urine samples from cancer patients, suggesting that they may serve as biomarkers for certain types of cancer.
