Description

1-o-Octadecyl-2-Acetyl-Sn-Glycerol-3-Phosphate is a synthetic, high-purity phospholipid derivative, also known as a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) analog. This compound is a critical biochemical tool and a key intermediate in lipid research and pharmaceutical development. It is primarily required by researchers and manufacturers in the life sciences, particularly for studying cell signaling pathways, membrane biophysics, and as a precursor for novel lipid-based therapeutics.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or probe in studies of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor signaling, cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex phospholipids and potential drug candidates targeting lipid-mediated diseases.
• Liposome & Drug Delivery Systems: Incorporated into lipid formulations to modify membrane properties, stability, and targeting capabilities of nanocarriers.
• Cell Culture & Media Supplements: Used as a defined lipid supplement in specialized cell culture applications to study lipid metabolism and membrane function.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Acts as a critical component in the development of assays and kits for detecting lipid-related enzymes or biomarkers.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for lipid analysis via HPLC, LC-MS, or NMR.
