Description

1-o-Myristyl-Rac-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is a synthetic, racemic phospholipid derivative, specifically a lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) analogue with a defined myristyl (C14) alkyl chain. This compound is a critical building block and model lipid for advanced research and formulation development in life sciences. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced material sectors who require high-purity, structurally defined lipids for creating liposomes, studying membrane biophysics, and developing drug delivery systems.

Application

• Liposome & Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) Formulation: Serves as a key structural or helper lipid component in the development of drug delivery vehicles for mRNA, siRNA, and small molecule therapeutics.
• Biomembrane Research: Used as a model membrane component to study lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions, membrane fluidity, and permeability.
• Cell Culture & Signaling Studies: Employed in research to investigate the biological roles of lysophosphatidylcholines in cellular processes, inflammation, and signaling pathways.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Can be utilized as a solubilizing agent or permeation enhancer in topical and transdermal drug formulations.
• Bioconjugation & Probe Synthesis: Acts as a versatile scaffold for chemical modification and the synthesis of fluorescently tagged or functionalized lipid probes.
• Cosmetic & Dermal Formulations: Incorporated into advanced cosmetic products for its emulsifying properties and potential skin-barrier repair benefits.
