Description

1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycerol (1,2-DMG) is a monomolecular fatty acid that has been found to inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus. It binds to the surface glycoprotein and inhibits the release of diacylglycerol from the lipid membrane. 1,2-DMG also inhibits the activity of acyl chain enzymes, which are necessary for the synthesis of fatty acids in trypanosomes. This inhibition prevents the growth and proliferation of lung fibroblasts and may be beneficial in treating cancer. The ionisation mass spectrum shows that 1,2-DMG has a molecular weight of 270 Da. The binding affinity between 1,2-DMG and water is 9 x 10 M at room temperature.
