| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
1,2,3-Tripalmitoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains palmitic acid (Item No. 10006627) at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions and has been found in palm oil.1 It inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and reduces viability of INS1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.2 Myocardial levels of 1,2,3-tripalmitoyl glycerol are elevated by greater than 5-fold in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin (Item No. 13104).3 1,2,3-Tripalmitoyl glycerol has been used to form the lipid matrices of etoposide-incorporated nanoparticles.4 Formulations containing 1,2,3-tripalmitoyl glycerol have been used in cosmetic products as thickening and skin-conditioning agents.5 | [Chemical Properties]
White, crystalline powder. Soluble in ether and chloroform;
insoluble in water. Combustible. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A triglyceride obtained by formal acylation of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol by palmitic (hexadecanoic) acid. | [General Description]
| [Biochem/physiol Actions]
Glyceryl tripalmitate is a carrier molecule for effective drug delivery and is used solid lipid nanoparticle formulations. | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise it from acetone, diethyl ether or EtOH. It exists in an -form (m 56.0o), a ’-form (m 63.5o) and a -form (m 65.5o). [Beilstein 2 H 373, 2 I 167, 2 II 340, 2 III 971.] |
