Application


  • Novel LC/MS/MS and High-Throughput Mass Spectrometric Assays for Monoacylglycerol Acyltransferase Inhibitors.: This research presents advanced assays for screening inhibitors of monoacylglycerol acyltransferase, with implications for metabolic disease treatment. 1-Decanoyl-rac-glycerol is a key compound in the study (Qi J et al., 2017).

  • Optimized reverse micelle surfactant system for high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of encapsulated proteins and nucleic acids dissolved in low viscosity fluids.: The paper describes a novel surfactant system using 1-Decanoyl-rac-glycerol, which improves the NMR spectroscopy of proteins and nucleic acids, offering better resolution and reduced viscosity (Dodevski I et al., 2014).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Monocaprin (glycerol monocaprate) is used in the development of antimicrobial disinfectants active against enveloped viruses, and certain yeast and bacteria such as candida albicans and campylobacter.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the rheological and structural properties of a pharmaceutical multicomponent hydrogel formulation. This formulation consists of a hydrogel-forming poly(acrylic acid) polymer (Carbopol 974P), microbicide (monocaprin), non-ionic surfactant (Tween 20 or Tween 40), and
