Applications & Uses

Description

1,2,3-Tridecanoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains decanoic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions. It has been found in human breast milk. 1,2,3-Tridecanoyl glycerol has been used as a standard for the quantification of triacylglycerols in fish oils by RP-HPLC. Formulations containing 1,2,3-tridecanoyl glycerol have been used in cosmetic products as thickening and skin-conditioning agents.

Uses

Tricaprin is used to construct solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) as delivery system for bromocriptine (B682600, Mesylate salt). It is also used in cationic SLNs to enhance p53 tumor suppressor gene transfer to lung cancer cells.
