Description

3-O-Hexadecyl-sn glycerol (3OHG) is a neutral, high molecular weight glycol ether that is used for the preparation of zirconium oxide. 3OHG has been shown to be a substrate for carbohydrate chemistry and as an inhibitor of enzymes, such as hexokinase and phosphoglycerate kinase. 3OHG has minimal toxicity when administered orally to rats and does not cause any hemolysis in human erythrocytes. This compound is also a monoclonal antibody that binds to the surface glycoprotein on the HL-60 cell line and inhibits its growth. 3OHG is not cytotoxic at concentrations up to 10 mM in cultured cells, but it can induce Ca2+ release from the cytosol in HL-60 cells with minimal toxicity. The structure of 3OHG appears closely related to benzalkonium chloride (BAC).
