Description

1,2-Dipentadecylmethylidene Phosphatidic Acid is a specialized synthetic phospholipid derivative with a unique branched-chain fatty acid structure. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced lipid-based materials and for its potential to modify surface properties. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications in drug delivery systems, biomimetic membrane studies, and as a functional surfactant or emulsifier.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research & Drug Delivery: As a functional lipid component in the formulation of liposomes, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), and other advanced drug carrier systems for targeted therapy.
• Biomimetic Membrane Studies: Used in model membrane systems to study lipid bilayer properties, protein-lipid interactions, and membrane fluidity due to its specific alkyl chain architecture.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier, stabilizer, or skin-conditioning agent in high-performance creams, lotions, and serums.
• Specialty Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Serves as a precursor or active ingredient in the synthesis of novel, biodegradable surfactants for industrial and agrochemical applications.
• Material Science: Employed in the surface modification of nanomaterials and the creation of functional coatings with specific hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristics.
• Biochemical Research: Utilized as a substrate or inhibitor in enzymatic studies related to phospholipid metabolism and signaling pathways.

Quality Control

Every batch of 1,2-Dipentadecylmethylidene Phosphatidic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and tendency to be easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to store the material under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, store in a desiccator at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
