HIDE SMILES / InChI
1,2-didecanoylglycerol (also known as glyceryl 1,2-dicaprate or 1,2-dicaprin), a synthetic diacylglycerol, is the substrate for human pancreatic lipase. It activates protein kinase C in platelets and enhances anterior pituitary hormone secretion in vitro.

Sample Use Guides

1,2-Didecanoylglycerol (glyceryl 1,2-dicaprate) was evaluated as a complete skin tumor promoter in CD-1 mice : mice were initiated with 200 nmol 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. One week later the mice received twice daily topical applications of 1 nmol TPA, 2 mumol sn-1,2-didecanoylglycerol or 5 mumol sn-1,2-didecanoylglycerol, 5 days/week.
Route of Administration: Transdermal
In Vitro Use Guide
ACTH and beta-endorphin (beta-End) secretion were enhanced by 1,2-didecanoylglycerol (glyceryl 1,2-dicaprate/DiC10) in a concentration-dependent manner, with a minimal effective concentration of 5 microM. The effect of DiC10 was time dependent, with maximal responses occurring at 15-30. Release of GH was also enhanced significantly by DiC10 with minimal effective concentrations of 1 microM. In additional experiments, the effects of DiC10 on secretion of LH, FSH, PRL, and TSH were evaluated. The results indicate that 5-25 microM DiC10 produced a concentration-dependent release of each of those hormones.
