Description

1-Monomyristin, extracted from Serenoa repens, inhibits the hydrolysis of 2-oleoylglycerol (IC50=32 μM) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity (IC50=18 μM). 1-Monomyristin shows antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and also antifungal activity against Candida albicans[1][2][3].


1-monomyristoylglycerol is a 1-monoglyceride with tetradecanoyl (myristoyl) as the acyl group. It has a role as a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolite. It is a 1-monoglyceride and a tetradecanoate ester.


It is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO, and is derived from nutmeg.


ChEBI: A rac-1-monoacylglycerol that is composed of equal amounts of 1-myristoyl-sn-glycerol and 3-myristoyl-sn-glycerol.
