Description

1-Octanoyl-2-Hydroxy-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, high-purity lysophospholipid, specifically a lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) with an octanoyl (C8:0) chain. This compound is a critical biochemical tool and a key intermediate in lipid research and pharmaceutical development. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries for applications ranging from membrane studies to drug delivery systems.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Essential for studying lipid metabolism, cell membrane dynamics, and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) enzyme activity.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex phospholipids and as a component in lipid-based drug delivery systems, including liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
• Cell Culture & Signaling Studies: Acts as a bioactive lipid mediator in cell signaling pathways, particularly those involving G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
• Cosmetic Formulations: Employed as a high-performance emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in advanced skincare products.
• Analytical Standards: Serves as a certified reference material (CRM) for quantitative analysis in lipidomics and quality control laboratories.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Used in the formulation of reagents for clinical diagnostics, particularly in assays measuring phospholipid-related enzymes.
