Description

1,2-Dipalmitoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-(Cytidine Diphosphate) (Ammonium Salt) is a high-purity, synthetic phospholipid derivative of cytidine diphosphate, a critical intermediate in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine and other phospholipids. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers developing lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), due to its role as a key building block. It is primarily utilized in advanced pharmaceutical research, biotechnology, and the production of next-generation therapeutics, including mRNA vaccines and gene therapies.

Application

• Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: A critical synthetic phospholipid component for constructing stable, biocompatible lipid nanoparticles used in mRNA vaccine and therapeutic delivery systems.
• Liposome Production: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and other phospholipids for creating controlled-release drug carriers and diagnostic agents.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies of phospholipid metabolism, cell signaling pathways, and membrane biophysics.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: An important building block in the synthesis of complex, bioactive phospholipids for novel drug candidates and nutraceuticals.
• Cell Culture & Media Supplements: Employed in specialized cell culture applications to study membrane dynamics and lipid metabolism in vitro.
