Description

1,2-Diheptadecanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine is a high-purity, synthetic phospholipid belonging to the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) class. This compound is a critical building block for constructing advanced lipid-based delivery systems and biomimetic membranes due to its defined, saturated fatty acid chains. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced materials sectors who require precise and reliable lipid components for liposomal drug delivery, vaccine adjuvants, and membrane biophysics studies.

Application

• Liposomal Drug Formulation: A key excipient for creating stable, long-circulating liposomes for targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic agents, nucleic acids (siRNA, mRNA), and other therapeutic payloads.
• Vaccine Adjuvant Development: Used in the research and production of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems and other vesicular adjuvants to enhance immune response.
• Biomimetic Membrane Models: Serves as a fundamental component in creating synthetic bilayers and vesicles for studying membrane protein function, permeability, and cell signaling mechanisms.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Incorporated into lipid-based assays and sensors for clinical diagnostics and research applications.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Delivery Systems: Employed in the formulation of high-end cosmetic products and transdermal delivery systems for its membrane-mimicking and encapsulation properties.
• Biophysical & Biochemical Research: A standard reagent for investigating lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions, membrane fusion, and phase behavior.
