Product Overview
Description:
1-Octanoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol featuring a medium-chain saturated octanoic acid tail anchored at the sn-1 position of the glycerol core. It possesses potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties that significantly restrict the proliferation of diverse bacteria and pathogenic fungi on treated substrates, while additionally demonstrating a unique capacity to facilitate the dissolution of gallstones when formulated in combination with specific organic solvents.
