Aspects of the present disclosure include fatty acid -hydroxyester compounds (e.g., fatty acid esters of -hydroxybutyrate), fatty acid esters of butanediol, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions having one or more fatty acid -hydroxyester compounds and/or one or more fatty acid esters of butanediol. Methods for treating a subject by administering one or more esters to the subject are also provided. Kits containing one or more of the subject esters are also described.

A process for solubilizing a resveratrol glycolate compound by heating the resveratrol glycolate and mixing the resveratrol glycolate with one or more glycols is disclosed. The process comprises an initial heating step of the resveratrol compound to a temperature not greater than 45 C. and a mixing step that mixes the heated resveratrol glycolate compound with at least one glycol solvent at room temperature for ten minutes to one hundred and twenty minutes.
