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.
