Description

1-O-Octadecyl-rac-glycerol is a fatty acid that has been shown to have antiinflammatory properties. It is also known as 1,1'-dioctadecyl-rac-glycerol, or DOG. 1-O-Octadecyl-rac-glycerol has been shown to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1) in vitro and in vivo. It has also been shown to stimulate the production of colony stimulating factor (CSF), which stimulates the growth and differentiation of stem cells into macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, erythrocytes, and lymphocytes. These cells are needed for wound healing and repair.

DOG inhibits phosphatidylcholine (PC) hydrolysis by inhibiting the enzyme acyl CoA:1,2 diacylglycerol ch
