Glyceryl Monooleate is a surfactant that releases free glycerol and oleic acid upon hydrolysis.
Glyceryl Monooleate has been used in liquid crystal studies and research shows that in the presence of monoolein, the penetration of the drug cisplatin is doubled. Monoolein (1-Oleoyl-rac-glycerol) is used in the development of monoolein-based nanoparticulate liquid dispersions as possible vehicles for drug delivery.
