Description

n-Lignoceroyl-D-Erythro-Sphingosylphosphorylcholine is a highly pure, synthetic sphingolipid derivative, specifically a ceramide-1-phosphate analog with a very long-chain fatty acid (lignoceric acid, C24:0). This compound is a critical biochemical tool for advanced research into lipid signaling pathways, membrane biophysics, and cellular regulation. It is essential for scientists and product developers in pharmaceutical R&D, academic biochemistry, and advanced cosmetics research who require well-defined, high-purity lipid standards and bioactive intermediates.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a key standard and substrate for studying sphingolipid metabolism, ceramide-1-phosphate signaling pathways, and lipid-protein interactions.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Used in the investigation of novel drug targets related to inflammation, apoptosis, and cell proliferation where ceramide-1-phosphate plays a regulatory role.
• Lipidomics & Analytical Standards: Serves as a high-purity reference compound for mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and chromatography (HPLC) to quantify and identify related lipids in complex biological samples.
• Advanced Cosmetic Science: Investigated for its potential bioactive properties in skin barrier function and epidermal cell signaling for high-end skincare formulations.
• Membrane Biophysics Studies: Utilized in model membrane systems (e.g., liposomes, lipid bilayers) to study the effects of specific ceramide species on membrane structure, fluidity, and domain formation.
• Cell Culture & In Vitro Studies: Applied in cell-based assays to elucidate the specific biological functions of D-erythro-sphingosine-based lipids with very long-chain acyl groups.
