Description

Dimyristoylmethylphosphatidic Acid is a synthetic, high-purity phospholipid derivative, specifically a phosphatidic acid analog with defined acyl chains. This compound matters for researchers and formulators seeking a precise, single-component lipid for modulating membrane properties, signal transduction studies, or as a critical intermediate in lipid synthesis. It is primarily needed by the life sciences sector for biochemical research, pharmaceutical development (particularly in liposomal drug delivery systems), and specialty chemical synthesis.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a model membrane lipid to study lipid-protein interactions, enzyme kinetics (e.g., phospholipase D), and intracellular signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: A functional component in the development of advanced liposomal and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for targeted drug and gene delivery.
• Chemical Synthesis: A key building block or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex phospholipids, such as phosphatidylglycerols or cardiolipin analogs.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Used in high-end skincare products for its potential emulsifying and skin-barrier repair properties.
• Cell Culture & Diagnostics: As a supplement in specialized cell culture media or as a coating agent for diagnostic assays and biosensors.

Quality Control

Our Dimyristoylmethylphosphatidic Acid is manufactured 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 research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
