Tripalmitin Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Description

Tripalmitin, also known as Palmitin or 1,2,3-Tripalmitoyl glycerol, comes from the fatty acid palmitic acid and is a triacylglycerol that contains palmitic acid at the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions and has been found in palm oil. It inhibits glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and reduces viability of INS1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Myocardial levels of 1,2,3-tripalmitoyl glycerol are elevated by greater than 5-fold in a rat model of diabetes induced by streptozotocin . 1,2,3-Tripalmitoyl glycerol has been used to form the lipid matrices of etoposide-incorporated nanoparticles. Formulations containing 1,2,3-tripalmitoyl glycerol have been used in cosmetic products as thickening and skin-conditioning agents.

Chemical Properties

White, crystalline powder. Soluble in ether and chloroform; insoluble in water. Combustible.

Uses

Tripalmitin is a triglyceride derived from Palmitic Acid (P144500), a common fatty acid found in plants and animals. Tripalmitin is used in the preparation of solid lipid particles for oral delivery of drugs.

Uses

Soap, leather dressing.

Uses

Glyceryl tripalmitate has been used as a reference standard

  • for the generation of calibration curve generation for the quantification of lipids from Azospirillum brasilense
  • for the quantification of silk worm embryos and extraembryonic yolk lipids using thin layer chromatography
  • for the quantification of triacylglycerol in Neochloris minuta microalgal cells

Definition

ChEBI: Tripalmitin is a triglyceride obtained by formal acylation of the three hydroxy groups of glycerol by palmitic (hexadecanoic) acid. It is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid.

General Description

SRM 1595_cert SRM 1595 _SDS

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glyceryl tripalmitate is a carrier molecule for effective drug delivery and is used solid lipid nanoparticle formulations.

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from acetone, diethyl ether or EtOH. It exists in an -form (m 56.0o), a ’-form (m 63.5o) and a -form (m 65.5o). [Beilstein 2 H 373, 2 I 167, 2 II 340, 2 III 971.]
