Glyceryl triheptadecanoate (triheptadecanoin) is a saturated fatty acid and triacyl glycerol compound. At the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 positions of its molecular structure, there is a heptadecanoic acid group. This compound has been utilized as a substrate in the synthesis of other fatty acids, as well as a stabilizer in the production of liposomes and a surfactant in the production of nanoparticles. Moreover, researchers have examined triheptadecanoin for its potential to decrease the viscosity of solutions and use as a lubricant in manufacturing medical devices. Additionally, it exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and it may serve as a vasodilator. Research has also shown that triheptadecanoin may have the ability to lower cholesterol levels and improve glucose metabolism.
