Description

L-A-Phosphatidylcholine, Dioctanoyl is a synthetic, short-chain phospholipid derivative of phosphatidylcholine, offering enhanced water solubility and bioavailability compared to its long-chain counterparts. This compound is crucial for formulating advanced drug delivery systems, particularly for enhancing the absorption of poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams, nutraceutical manufacturers, and specialty chemical suppliers focused on liposomal technology and bioavailability enhancement.

Application

• As a key lipid excipient in the formulation of liposomes and other nano/micro-carriers for targeted drug delivery.
• Used in the development of self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) to improve oral bioavailability.
• As a component in cosmetic formulations for its emulsifying and skin-penetration enhancing properties.
• In biochemical research as a model membrane lipid for studying lipid bilayer dynamics and protein-lipid interactions.
• As a solubilizing agent in diagnostic and analytical reagent preparations.
• Potential use in nutraceutical supplements designed for enhanced cognitive and liver support.

Quality Control

Our L-A-Phosphatidylcholine, Dioctanoyl is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
