MIDTERM 02 - Lipids Flashcards
(217 cards)
Are esters of long chain fatty acids and alcohols or of closely related derivatives
Lipids
Are made of carboxylic acid and a hydrocarbon chain
Fatty acids
Presence of a carbon-carbon double bond (Types of fatty acids)
Unsaturated
All carbon-carbon bonds are single covalent bonds (Types of fatty acids)
Saturated
Number of carbons from the carboxylic acid end to the first carbon in the double bond (Fatty acid nomenclature)
Delta nomenclature
Number of carbons from the methyl end to the first carbon in the double bond closest to the methyl end (Fatty acid nomenclature)
Omega nomenclature
__________ and __________ are structural components of cell membranes (OO)
Omega-3, Omega-6
Contains NLT 40% stearic acid and NLT 40% palmitic acid; the sum of these 2 acids is NLT 90% (Examples of lipids)
Stearic acid
Used as a tablet lubricant and emulsion adjunct (Examples of lipids)
Stearic acid
Contains NLT 90% stearic acid and the total content of stearic and palmitic acids is NLT 90% (Examples of lipids)
Purified stearic acid
Used as tablet lubricants (Stearic acid derivatives) (CM)
Calcium stearate, Magnesium stearate
Used in dusting powders (Stearic acid derivatives)
Zinc stearate
Used as an emulsifying agent and stiffening agent (Stearic acid derivatives)
Sodium stearate
Used as an emulsifying agent; have emollient properties and contribute to the stability of emulsions (Stearic acid derivatives) (GP)
Glyceryl monostearate, Propylene glycol monostearate
Used as a suspending agent (Stearic acid derivatives)

Isopropyl myristate, Isopropyl palmitate
Used as ingredients in topical emollient creams and ointments (Examples of lipids) (II)
Isopropyl myristate, Isopropyl palmitate
They lack the hypersensitization potential encountered with lanolin (Examples of lipids) (II)
Isopropyl myristate, Isopropyl palmitate
A by-product in the production of stearic acid; miscible in water and darkens when exposed to air (Examples of lipids)
Oleic acid
Used as an emulsion adjunct (Examples of lipids)
Oleic acid
It is less viscous and more rapidly absorbed by body tissues; used as a pharmaceutical vehicle (Oleic acid derivatives)
