1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol (sn-1,2-Dioleoylglycerol; 18:1/18:1-DG) is a glycerolipid located on the plasma membrane. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol consists of two fatty acid chains covalently linked to a single glycerol molecule by means of an ester bond. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol is an analog of the protein kinase C-activating second messenger DAG. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol has been used as a source of diacylglycerol in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) assay. 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycerol can induce acrosome reaction in human sperm .

Monoolein is a biocompatible lipid molecule that can be used as a carrier for bone repair. Monoolein exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the immune response induced by LPS (HY-D1056). It exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by reducing the production of immune response factors such as IL-12 p40, IL-6, and TNF-α, and inhibiting the generation of NO. Monoolein can be used in drug delivery and research in the field of inflammatory diseases .

Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) is a type of monoglyceride. Glyceryl monostearateGlyceryl monostearate can serve as a core lipid material for constructing solid lipid nanoparticles in the field of drug delivery. Glyceryl monostearate can be used as a gelling agent to structure liquid vegetable oils into semi-solid oleogels, so as to replace animal fat in meat products.

1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol is a diacylglycerol hormogonium inducer that can be isolated from the coralloid roots of Cycas revoluta. 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol promotes the differentiation of filamentous Nostoc cell aggregates into motile hormogonia, and further induces the formation of dense bundle-like structures. 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol is not only commonly used as a diacylglycerol standard, but also can effectively identify and separate glycerophosphate-containing phospholipid enantiomers after acetylation. 1-Palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol is also used to study cyanobacterial developmental mechanisms and lipid analysis.

1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycerol (DSG) is a glyceride compound. 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycerol can be used as an internal standard for the analysis of molecular species of diacylglycerol (DAG) and other phospholipids in rat brain.

Triacetin (Glyceryl triacetate) is a synthetic compound that is a triester of glycerol and acetic acid, orally active. Triacetin increases acetate bioavailability in glioma cells. Triacetin induces glioma cell growth arrest and Apoptosis. Triacetin freely crosses the blood brain barrier/plasma membrane. Triacetin increases histone acetylation and enhances Temozolomide (HY-17364) (TMZ) chemotherapeutic efficacy .

Tricaprilin (Trioctanoin) is an orally active and well tolerated ketogenic agent that safely induces ketosis. Tricaprilin restores brain electrical activity and metabolism to help counteract neuroinflammation in migraine. Tricaprilin is promising for research of migraine prevention and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Tricaprilin is a pure C8 medium chain triglyceride (MCT).

1-Linoleoyl glycerol is a LpPLA2 inhibitor. 1-Linoleoyl glycerol acts as a precursor for synthesizing various functional lipids, such as phospholipids. 1-Linoleoyl glycerol mitigates inflammation induced by Apolipoprotein CIII (reduction of IL-6).

2-Linoleoyl glycerol (2-Monolinolein) is a partial CB1 receptor agonist with a pEC₅₀ of 4.781. 2-Linoleoyl glycerol activates the hCB1 receptor. 2-Linoleoyl glycerol does not induce an increase in intracellular free Ca²⁺. 2-Linoleoyl glycerol can be used in the research of neurological disorders.

1-Stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol is a diacylglycerol (DAG) containing polyunsaturated fatty acids. 1-Stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol can activate PKC. 1-Stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol also can augment nonselective cation channel (NSCC) activity.
