1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol
1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycerol is a cytoprotective alkyl glyceryl ether that shields keratinocytes from UVB damage by reducing ROS and PGE2. It also demonstrates cardioprotective effects in ex vivo heart models, improving hemodynamics and reducing oxidative stress during ischemia-reperfusion injury. This compound is a valuable research tool for studying cytoprotection in dermatology and cardiology.
