Methyl myristate is a fatty acid ester that functions as a nonpolar solvent in various experiments. It acts as a carrier for active ingredients in formulations and aids in the dispersion of substances in experimental mixtures. Methyl myristate interacts with other compounds by forming noncovalent interactions, such as van der Waals forces, which contribute to its ability to dissolve and disperse substances. The mode of action involves its ability to penetrate and interact with lipid-based structures, facilitating the delivery of active ingredients in experimental formulations. Methyl myristate′s nonpolar nature allows it to effectively solubilize and disperse a wide range of substances, making it a versatile component in experimental applications. Its molecular structure enables it to interact with other compounds in a way that supports the experimental processes in which it is utilized.
