Description

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.
