Description

1-o-Hexadecyl-2-C,o-Dimethylglycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, high-purity phospholipid derivative, a key building block in advanced lipid-based formulations. Its molecular structure makes it an essential component for creating stable, functional membranes and vesicles in controlled delivery systems. This compound is primarily required by research institutions and pharmaceutical developers working on novel drug delivery platforms, liposomal therapeutics, and advanced biomimetic materials.

Application

• Liposome and Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: A critical structural lipid for constructing stable, uniform vesicles for drug and nucleic acid (e.g., mRNA) encapsulation and delivery.
• Biomimetic Membrane Research: Used to create synthetic cell membranes and model bilayer systems for studying membrane protein interactions, permeability, and cellular processes.
• Drug Delivery System Development: Serves as a functional excipient in the design of targeted and sustained-release pharmaceutical formulations to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce side effects.
• Diagnostic Agent Carrier: Employed in the formulation of contrast agents and diagnostic probes for medical imaging techniques such as MRI and ultrasound.
• Cosmetic and Dermal Delivery: Incorporated into advanced cosmetic formulations like niosomes and transfersomes for enhanced skin penetration and delivery of active ingredients.
• Biochemical Research Reagent: Utilized as a standard or substrate in enzymatic studies, signal transduction research, and investigations into lipid metabolism.

Quality Control

Our 1-o-Hexadecyl-2-C,o-Dimethylglycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and formulation. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label or COA. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
