Monoolein

Description: Monoolein (1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol) is a surfactant that releases free glycerol and oleic acid upon hydrolysis. Monoolein has been used in liquid crystal studies and research shows that in the presence of monoolein, the penetration of the drug cisplatin (sc-200896) is doubled. Target: Others, Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: CCCCCCCC\C=C/CCCCCCCC(=O)OCC(O)CO. References: Caboi F , Amico G S , Pitzalis P , et al.
