1 o hexadecyl sn glycerol

1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol is a bioactive alkyl glyceryl ether. It reduces UVB-induced cell death and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prostaglandin E2 in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). 1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol (50 μM) increases coronary flow and left ventricular developed pressure and reduces malondialdehyde (MDA) formation ex vivo in a rat heart model of ischemia reperfusion injury.

QNN33358 is an alkylacylglycerol acts as a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor and diacylglycerol (DAG) antagonist.

1,2-O-Dihexadecyl-sn-glycerol, a saturated dialkyl glyceryl ether featuring hexadecyl groups at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, resembles the structure of diacylglycerol. This compound serves as a lipid anchor for synthesizing lactose-containing synthetic glycolipids.
