Synthesis Services for Different Types of Triglycerides

Short-Chain Triglycerides Synthesis

Specialized synthesis services are available for short-chain triglycerides (SCTs), which contain fatty acids with carbon chain lengths of C6 or shorter. These compounds are characterized by low molecular weight, low melting points, and fast absorption in the human body.

Medium-Chain Triglycerides Synthesis

Custom production services for medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are offered, consisting of fatty acids with carbon chain lengths from C8 to C12. These triglycerides have unique metabolic pathways and can rapidly provide energy without requiring bile salts for digestion.

Medium-Long-Chain Triglycerides Synthesis

Accurate synthesis of medium-long-chain triglycerides (MLCTs) is provided, which are structured lipids containing both medium- and long-chain fatty acids. These compounds are designed to combine the metabolic benefits of both types for enhanced functionality.

Long-Chain Triglycerides Synthesis

Various common and specialty long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) are synthesized, including those with fatty acids of C14 or longer carbon chain lengths. These triglycerides are the most prevalent lipid forms found in nature and are commonly used in diverse applications.

Saturated Triglycerides Synthesis

Synthesis of oxidation-resistant saturated triglycerides (STs) is available, containing fatty acids without double bonds and typically existing as solids at room temperature. Custom synthesis can meet specific requirements for melting point, hardness, and stability of the final product.

Unsaturated Triglycerides Synthesis

Unsaturated triglycerides (UTs), including highly unsaturated products, are synthesized with precision. These triglycerides contain one or more double bonds, offering high nutritional value. From oleic acid to polyunsaturated EPA and DHA, synthesis of target structures is provided.

Methods for Triglyceride Synthesis at BOC Sciences

Chemical Catalysis Method

We provide established chemical catalysis synthesis services suitable for large-scale production of standard or specially structured triglycerides. This method relies on esterification or transesterification reactions with chemical catalysts to efficiently combine fatty acids and glycerol, offering cost-effective scalability and mature processes.

Enzyme-Based Synthesis Method

We offer highly selective enzyme-based synthesis services designed for producing triglycerides with precise structures. Utilizing lipase or esterase as biocatalysts, this method provides exceptional regioselectivity and fatty acid specificity, enabling the synthesis of complex functional lipids such as 1,3-Dioleoyl-2-palmitoyl-glycerol.

Biological Synthesis Method

We offer biosynthesis services based on synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. This method modifies yeast, microalgae, or other microbial cell factories to produce and accumulate specific triglycerides from sugars or glycerol, providing innovative solutions for sustainable production of complex, natural oils with polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Triglyceride Synthesis Case Studies and Success Stories

Client Needs: A drug delivery company developing a sustained-release implant needed a custom-synthesized, fully saturated triglyceride as a critical inert matrix excipient, requiring exceptional batch-to-batch consistency and defined melting behavior.

Challenges: The client's in-house chemical synthesis resulted in product mixtures with variable chain lengths and incomplete esterification, leading to unpredictable drug release profiles and implant stability issues during their preliminary testing.

Solution: BOC Sciences implemented a refined chemical catalysis synthesis under strictly controlled conditions. We optimized the reaction parameters and employed advanced purification techniques to produce a triglyceride with a precise, homogeneous fatty acid composition and consistent molecular weight.

Outcome: The client received a highly consistent, high-purity saturated TG that met exacting specifications. This reliable excipient successfully stabilized the drug release profile of their implantable device, resolving the core formulation challenge.

Client Needs: A pharmaceutical research institute required the synthesis of a stable isotope-labeled triglyceride with a specific fatty acid configuration to serve as an internal standard for the pharmacokinetic study of a lipid-based drug delivery system.

Challenges: The client lacked the synthetic expertise to efficiently incorporate the isotope label at the designated glycerol backbone position while maintaining high radiochemical purity and structural fidelity, which was critical for accurate mass spectrometry quantification.

Solution: BOC Sciences utilized a custom-designed enzymatic synthesis route. Our chemists employed a regioselective lipase to precisely acylate the protected, isotope-labeled glycerol precursor with the target fatty acids in a stepwise manner, ensuring the label was retained at the correct molecular position.

Outcome: We delivered the high-purity, structurally defined isotope-labeled TG standard. This enabled the client to achieve precise and reliable quantification of their lipid carrier in vivo, significantly accelerating the formulation development timeline.

Client Needs: A biotech firm sought to synthesize a novel, asymmetrically structured triglyceride designed to enhance the loading capacity and stability of siRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).

Challenges: The client's target molecule required the precise placement of three distinct fatty acids (one polyunsaturated, two saturated) at specific sn-positions of the glycerol backbone, a feat unachievable through conventional chemical synthesis methods.

Solution: Leveraging our specialized enzyme synthesis platform, BOC Sciences designed a multi-step enzymatic process using immobilized sn-1,3 specific and sn-2 specific lipases. This approach allowed for the sequential and regioselective incorporation of each unique fatty acid.

Outcome: We successfully provided the complex, position-specific structured TG. Integration of this custom lipid into the client's LNP formulation led to improved nucleic acid encapsulation efficiency and particle stability, validating their novel delivery system design.
