1,2-Dimyristoyl-rac-glycerol is a carboxylic ester, glycerolipid and diglyceride with an attached myristoyl group, promoting interactions between proteins and lipids. It can be employed as a detergent or reagent. It’s functional in cell biology experimentation concerning metabolism and metabolic pathways involving glycerolipids.

As a diglyceride, the substance consists of two fatty acid chains covalently bonded to the glycerol molecule in the 1,2- formation. Diglyceride (DAG) research investigates the process of suppressing fat accumulation through DAG consumption.

Bactenecin is a twelve residue antimicrobial peptide that is recognized by its disulfide linked cyclical structure. It lyses gram-negative bacteria by increasing permeability through binding lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The bactenecin/LPS conjugate forms a β-hairpin structures which integrate with the bacterial membrane, forming pores. Cytosol contents leak with pore formation and lysis occurs with higher bactenecin concentrations

Antibiotics are often used in clinical in vitro tests known as antimicrobial susceptibility tests or ASTs to determine their efficacy against certain bacterial species. They are tested against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria using panels, discs, and MIC strips by medical microbiologists. ASTs decrease the risk of using an antibiotic against bacteria exhibiting resistance to it, and the results are used in clinical settings to determine which antibiotic(s) to prescribe for various infections.

Hexanoyl-DL-carnitine chloride is a fatty acylcarnitine with a hexanoyl group, biologically active in intermediate lipid metabolism in cells. It’s employed as a detergent, surfactant and reagent.

Studies conducted with acylcarnitines and dietary l-carnitine amino acid derivatives have shown that mutated coding for carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase causes inborn lipid metabolism disorders. Analyzing acylcarnitine production can explain the poor absorption of l-cartinine, and this can be quantified by HPLC. HPLC also provides a profile of the alcylcarnitine chains present.
