| Targets |
Glycerol monooleate functions as an agonist for G-protein coupled receptor 119 (GPR119), which is predominantly expressed in pancreatic β-cells and intestinal L-cells. Upon binding to GPR119, it stimulates a Gαs-mediated signaling cascade leading to activation of adenyl cyclase, increased intracellular cAMP levels, and subsequent secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), an incretin hormone that potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, glycerol monooleate exhibits hemolytic properties and is used as an absorption enhancer in combination with bile salts. It can be utilized in drug delivery systems and siRNA delivery in cell culture models. The compound's amphiphilic nature allows it to encapsulate and control the release of various therapeutic agents in vitro. As a GPR119 agonist, it stimulates cAMP accumulation and GLP-1 secretion in intestinal L-cell models.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, glycerol monooleate has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications including treatment of otitis externa. Its use as an absorption enhancer has been explored in combination with bile salts to improve drug bioavailability. The compound's biocompatibility and non-toxic profile support its application in various in vivo drug delivery formulations.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
GPR119 binding assays are conducted using membrane preparations from cells expressing recombinant GPR119. Radioligand binding displacement studies measure compound affinity. cAMP accumulation assays are performed in GPR119-expressing cells, where cells are stimulated with test compound and intracellular cAMP levels are quantified using ELISA or HTRF-based detection kits. For emulsification properties, phase behavior studies are conducted by mixing glycerol monooleate with aqueous buffers at varying ratios, followed by polarized light microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering to characterize liquid crystalline phases.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cells (e.g., intestinal L-cells or CHO cells expressing GPR119) are cultured in appropriate media at 37°C with 5% CO₂. For cAMP assays, cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with glycerol monooleate at various concentrations (typically 0.1-100 μM) for 30-60 minutes. cAMP levels are measured using a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) or ELISA-based detection kit following the manufacturer's protocol. For siRNA delivery studies, cells are treated with siRNA formulated with glycerol monooleate-based delivery systems, and gene silencing efficiency is assessed by qRT-PCR or Western blot.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies, glycerol monooleate is typically formulated as a solution or emulsion in suitable vehicles such as PBS or saline. Animal models include rodents for evaluating drug delivery efficiency and absorption enhancement. For oral administration, the compound is given by gavage at doses determined by the specific study design. For parenteral administration, it is injected intravenously or subcutaneously. Pharmacokinetic parameters are measured by collecting blood samples at various time points post-administration and analyzing compound concentrations via HPLC or LC-MS/MS.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a GRAS substance, glycerol monooleate is generally recognized as safe for use in food and pharmaceutical applications. It is biodegradable and biocompatible with a favorable safety profile. The compound has hemolytic properties at certain concentrations. It is a lipophilic compound with low aqueous solubility (5.3E-3 g/L at 25°C), and its absorption and distribution are primarily mediated through lipid-based transport mechanisms.

| Additional Infomation |
1-OleoylGlycerine is a 1-monoglyceride with an oleoyl group. It is a plant metabolite. It is an 18:1 1-acylGlycerine and also a monooleoylGlycerine. Its function is related to oleic acid. It has been reported that monooleoylGlycerine is found in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and saposhnikovia divaricata, and relevant data are available.
Glyceryl monooleate is classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Beyond its role as an emulsifier and excipient, emerging research has elucidated its direct biological function as a GPR119 agonist, linking it to glucose homeostasis and metabolic regulation. Its amphiphilic nature and ability to form liquid crystalline phases make it a valuable tool for formulating cubosomes and other lipid-based nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery. It has been investigated for applications in otitis externa treatment and as an absorption enhancer in combination with bile salts. |
