Usage
Tributyrin (CAS 60-01-5) is a glycerol ester primarily used as a feed additive, in spice preparation, and as a substrate in enzyme assays. It improves intestinal barrier function in animals and promotes growth. Additionally, it is used in the creation of artificial flavors, particularly in butter and margarine-like products, and as a solvent for fragrances.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
1. Feed Additive:
- Tributyrin enhances intestinal barrier function and supports animal growth.
- It can be used as a dietary supplement in animal feed.
2. Spice and Flavoring:
- It is used in the formulation of butter, margarine, and other food products.
- Tributyrin also acts as a solvent for fragrances.
3. Enzyme Assay Substrate:
- Tributyrin serves as a substrate for the determination of esterase and lipase activity in laboratory settings.
4. Other Potential Applications:
- It’s being explored for its potential role in cancer therapy and as a prodrug of butyric acid, which has antiproliferative effects.
- Tributyrin may also play a role in the treatment of oxidative stress related to ethanol consumption.
5. Important Considerations:
- Tributyrin is a triglyceride and a butyrate ester.
- It is important to note that it’s often used in research settings and not for direct diagnostic or therapeutic use.
