1,2,3-Tristearoyl-rac-glycerol) is a triglyceride where the glycerol backbone is esterified with stearic acid at all three positions. It is commonly used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in drug delivery systems. Tristearin is employed in systems like liposomes, micelles, and nanoparticles, which can enhance the solubility, stability, and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Tristearin can also be used in controlled-release formulations, particularly in oral or parenteral (injected) systems. The triglyceride's fatty acid ester chains can be tailored to control the rate of drug release depending on the physical and chemical properties of the drug.
