General description

1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol is commonly known as monoolein (MO). It is an amphiphilic molecule that is made up of a glycerol backbone and a hydrocarbon chain.

Application

  • Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) Encapsulated in DODAB: MO (1: 2) Liposomes for Targeted Drug Delivery: Development and Characterization: This study focuses on developing liposomes consisting of Dioctadecyldimethylammonium Bromide (DODAB) and 1-oleoyl-rac-glycerol for targeted drug delivery (A VAN DIJCK, 2014).
  • An Innovative Nanocarrier for Neuroprotection: Investigates the therapeutic benefits of encapsulating curcumin in stealth nanocarriers of DODAB and 1-oleoyl-rac-glycerol (MO) (1: 2) (T Soares, No Date Provided).
  • Supporting Information Light-responsive Molecular Release from Cubosomes using Swell-Squeeze Lattice Control: Discusses molecular release mechanisms in structures containing 1-oleoyl-rac-glycerol (BE Jones et al., No Date Provided).
  • The Potential of Macroporous Silica—Nanocrystalline Cellulose Combination for Formulating Dry Emulsion Systems with Improved Flow Properties: A DoE Study: Details the formulation of dry emulsion systems incorporating 1-oleoyl-rac-glycerol for improved pharmaceutical applications (M Pohlen, L Pirker, R Dreu, 2021).
  • The Metabolomic Bioenergetic Signature of Opa1-Disrupted Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts Highlights Aspartate Deficiency: Includes an analysis of metabolic changes, noting the role of 1-oleoyl-rac-glycerol among other compounds (C Bocca et al., 2018).
