Application

Ethyl oleate can be used as a starting material to synthesize stearic acid hydrazide intermediate, which can undergo intermolecular cyclization reaction with various aliphatic acids and aromatic acids to yield 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. It is also reduced to oleyl alcohol via Bouveault−Blanc reduction reaction.
Ethyl oleate was used to prepare the oily phase of self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) for tacrolimus (Tac).

Cell membranes are dynamic structures found in all living organisms. There have been numerous constructs that model phospholipid membranes. However, unlike natural membranes, these biomimetic systems cannot sustain growth owing to an inability to replenish phospholipid-synthesizing catalysts. Here we report
