General description
rac-Glycerol 1-myristate is present in the saw palmetto palm and is less soluble in water.
Application
rac-Glycerol 1-myristate has been used:
- as a standard in liquid chromatography/atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC–APCI-MS) studies
- as a representative monoacylglycerol to test its matrix effects in gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) studies
- to test its antifungal activity against Fusarium spp.
Rac-glycerol 1-myristate (glycerol α-monomyristate) is used in colloidal chemistry as a nonionic surfactant in the development of micelles.
Biochem/physiol Actions
rac-Glycerol 1-myristate also elicits antifungal activity. It exhibits an anti-proliferative effect in HeLa cervical cancer cells when delivered as a polymeric nanoparticle-based conjugate.
rac-Glycerol 1-myristate, a 1-monoglyceride of myristic acid, has antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive bacterial strains.

To elucidate the absorption characteristics of dietary lipids in the human intestine, we investigated the cellular uptake of lipid metabolites using a differential monolayer of the Caco2 cells. As lipid metabolites, several free fatty acids and 2-monoacylglycerols, were formed a

A new, reliable liquid chromatography/atmospheric-pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS) method was developed for the quantitative determination of food emulsifiers composed of mono- and diacylglycerols of fatty acids (E471 series) in complex food matrices. These additives are extremely interesting for

In the present work, monoacylglycerol derivatives, i.e., 1-monomyristin, 2-monomyristin, and 2-monopalmitin were successfully prepared from commercially available myristic acid and palmitic acid. The 1-monomyristin compound was prepared through a transesterification reaction between ethyl myristate and 1,2-O-isopropylidene glycerol, which was obtained
