Glyceryl 1-acetate is a glycerol ester. It potently inhibits aquaporin-mediated glycerol uptakes. Glyceryl 1-acetate was primarily used as an antidote in fluoroacetate poisoning because it was believed that acetate exerted a protective effect via competition with fluoroacetate for binding with coenzyme A. Glyceryl 1-acetate has been superseded by acetamide therapy. Glycerol 1-Acetate is a derivative of Triacetin, which is used as a food additive and flavoring.
