1,3-Dioctanoyl-2-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol

1,3-Dioctanoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains octanoic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and oleic acid at the sn-2 position. In a diet-induced hamster model of hypercholesterolemia, replacing dietary coconut oil with 1,3-dioctanoyl-2-oleoyl glycerol reduces total cholesterol levels in both the plasma and aorta.¹

1,3-Capryloyl-2-oleoylglycerol is a triglyceride. 1,3-Capryloyl-2-oleoylglycerol has its hydroxyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions of glycerol acylated by Caprylic acid (HY-41417) and the hydroxyl group at the 2 position acylated by Oleic acid (HY-N1446) in its molecule[1].
