glycerol derivative 1

Glycerol derivative 1 is a compound named [(1R)-1-[(2S)-2-(hexadecanoyloxy)-3-(hexadecanoyloxy)propoxy]-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl] hexadecanoate, characterized as odorless and tasteless. It appears as a white or cream-colored powder and is insoluble in water, but highly soluble in (methanol).

1-Palmitoyl-2-succinyl-sn-glycerophosphorylcholine, a glycerophosphorylcholine derivative, comprises glycerol phosphate, choline, and palmitic acid and accumulates at oxidative stress sites in vivo. It potentially acts as a ligand for scavenger receptors class B, akin to oxidized phospholipids oxPC(CD36), which are established potent ligands for receptors CD36 and SR-BI. These oxidized phospholipids also play a pivotal role in promoting tumor apoptosis and may present in higher concentrations within malignant biliary strictures [1] [2].

1-O-Dodecyl-rac-glycerol is an organic compound classified as a racemic glycerol derivative. It consists of a dodecyl chain attached to the sn-1 position of a rac-glycerol molecule. This compound finds various applications in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly as an intermediate for synthesizing lipid-based drug delivery systems and membranes. Additionally, it has potential uses as an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetics and personal care products.
