Application
1-Moristristin is a versatile 1-monoglyceride of myristic acid, primarily developed for creating nonionic surfactant micelles. Alongside its surfactant applications, it demonstrates significant antibacterial properties against various Gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, and exhibits antifungal activity against Candida albicans. Furthermore, 1-Moristristin inhibits the hydrolysis of 2-oleoylglycerol and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity, making it a valuable compound not only in microbiological contexts but also as an important biochemical tool.
