Trilaurin: Mechanisms, Evidence & Drug Delivery
2026-08-11
Trilaurin, also called Glycerol Tridodecanoate, is a C12 triacylglycerol used as a lipid excipient, biocatalytic synthesis substrate, and cosmetic conditioning agent. Its documented value is application-specific: it supports lipid-particle delivery and enzymatic synthesis, while a mouse contact-hypersensitivity study found no adjuvant effect for the C12 compound under its tested conditions.
