Description

Oleyloxyethyl Phosphorylcholine is a high-purity synthetic phospholipid derivative, specifically a phosphocholine esterified with an oleyloxyethanol chain. This compound is valued for its exceptional biocompatibility and ability to form stable, biomimetic membranes and vesicles. It serves as a critical functional material for researchers and manufacturers in advanced life science and material science applications, where surface modification and membrane engineering are paramount.

Application

• Liposome & Nanoparticle Formulation: A key phospholipid component for creating stable, long-circulating drug delivery vehicles and diagnostic agents.
• Biomimetic Surface Coating: Used to create stealth and non-fouling surfaces on medical devices, implants, and diagnostic chips by mimicking the outer leaflet of cell membranes.
• Cell Membrane Research: An essential tool for constructing model membrane systems (e.g., supported lipid bilayers, vesicles) to study membrane protein function, lipid rafts, and biophysical properties.
• Cosmetic Actives & Delivery: Employed in high-end skincare formulations for its moisturizing, skin-barrier repairing, and encapsulation properties for active ingredients.
• Contact Lens & Ophthalmic Solutions: A biocompatible wetting and lubricating agent to enhance comfort and performance in lens solutions and eye drops.
• Biomedical Research Reagents: A critical raw material for synthesizing more complex labeled phospholipids (e.g., fluorescent, biotinylated) used in assays and imaging.
