Ethyl lactate is also used as solvent for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, and cellulose ethers. Ethyl lactate hydrolyzes in the presence of water and acids or bases into lactic acid and ethanol. Ethyl lactate can be used as a cosolvent to produce suitable conditions for the formation of aryl aldimines. Ethyl lactate Ethyl lactate, also known as lactic acid ethyl ester, is a monobasic ester formed from lactic acid and ethanol, commonly used as a solvent. This compound is considered biodegradable and can be used as a water-rinsible degreaser. Ethyl lactate is found naturally in small quantities in a wide variety of foods
Di-deuterated linoleic acid ethyl ester Di-deuterated linoleic acid ethyl ester Di-deuterated ethyl linoleate (also known as RT001; Di-deuterated linoleic acid ethyl ester, 11,11-D2-Ethyl Linoleate, Ethyl 11,11-D2-Linoleate) is an experimental, orally-bioavailable synthetic deuterated polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), an isotopologue of an essential omega-6 PUFA, linoleic acid. The deuterated compound, while identical to natural linoleic acid, is resistant to lipid peroxidation which makes studies of its cell-protective properties worthwhile. Investigations of 11,11-D2-Ethyl linoleate (RT001) are being conducted in several neurological indications, including Friedreich’s ataxia and Infantile Neuroaxonal Dystrophy. A double-blind comparator-controlled Phase I/II clinical trial sponsored by Retrotope and Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance was conducted to determine
