Description

L-α-Lysophosphatidylcholine, Heptadecanoyl CAS NO 50930-23-9 is a high-purity, synthetic lysophospholipid characterized by a single heptadecanoyl (C17:0) fatty acid chain attached to the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. This specific molecular configuration makes it a critical reagent for modulating membrane fluidity and studying lipid-protein interactions in advanced research. It is essential for scientists and formulators in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced material science sectors who require precise, well-defined lipid components for drug delivery systems, biomembrane models, and diagnostic applications.

Application

• Liposome & Drug Delivery System Formulation: As a key excipient to create stable, fusogenic liposomes for targeted therapeutic delivery.
• Biomembrane & Cell Biology Research: Used as a critical component in model membrane systems (e.g., vesicles, bilayers) to study membrane permeability, protein insertion, and signaling processes.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Employed in the manufacturing of reagents for clinical diagnostics, particularly in assays involving enzymatic reactions or cell lysis.
• Biochemical & Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a substrate or intermediate in enzymatic studies and the synthesis of more complex phospholipids.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Formulations: Utilized in high-end skincare products for its emulsifying properties and potential skin-barrier enhancement effects.
