GLYCEROL TRIMYRISTATE, 1-14C - Introduction
TRIMYRISTIN, also known as glyceryl myristate, is a glyceride compound that occurs naturally in plant and animal fats. [MYRISTIC-1-14C] indicates that the isotope mass number of the elemental carbon C labeled in the compound is 14, which is used to track and analyze the transformation and metabolism of the compound in the experiment.
TRIMYRISTIN has the following properties:
-Appearance: White crystalline solid
-Solubility: Soluble in ethanol and dichloromethane, slightly soluble in water
-Melting point: 51-53 ℃
-Molecular formula: C45H86O6
-Molecular weight: 723.2g/mol
The main uses of TRIMYRISTIN include:
-Cosmetics and personal care products: used as emulsifiers, thickeners and emollients.
-Pharmaceutical preparation: used as a filling material for capsules or as a base for ointments.
-Food industry: used as flavoring agent and food additive.
TRIMYRISTIN can be prepared by the following methods:
1. Acid catalyzed esterification reaction: myristic acid and glycerol are reacted under acidic conditions to generate TRIMYRISTIN.
2. Enzyme catalyzed esterification reaction: using enzyme catalyzed esterification reaction with high efficiency, the reaction of myristic acid and glycerol to generate TRIMYRISTIN.
Regarding safety information, TRIMYRISTIN is a generally safe compound, but it still needs to be used with caution:
-Avoid inhaling dust or contact with skin and eyes.
-Wear appropriate protective gloves and eye/face protection during use.
-Operate in a well-ventilated area to avoid swallowing or entering eyes.
-Avoid high temperature and humid conditions during storage.
In addition, for radioisotope-labeled compounds, appropriate radioactive safety procedures should be followed during operation to avoid possible radiation hazards.
