Description

Lysophosphatidylcholines, Egg are a class of phospholipids derived from egg lecithin, characterized by a single fatty acid chain attached to a glycerol backbone linked to a choline headgroup. These amphiphilic molecules are critical for their role as bioactive signaling molecules and versatile excipients in advanced formulations. They are essential for research and development in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries, where they function as solubilizers, penetration enhancers, and key components of lipid-based delivery systems.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizing agent and absorption enhancer in oral and topical drug delivery systems, including self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) and liposomes.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a crucial substrate or signaling molecule in studies of cell membrane biology, lipid metabolism, and intracellular signaling pathways (e.g., involving G-protein coupled receptors).
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a natural emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in high-end skincare products, improving texture and active ingredient penetration.
• Nutraceutical Delivery: Incorporated into lipid-based supplements to enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble bioactive compounds like coenzyme Q10 and fat-soluble vitamins.
• Cell Culture & Biotechnology: Utilized in media formulations and as a component in creating synthetic membranes for protein studies and reconstitution experiments.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in the preparation of calibrators and reagents for clinical diagnostic assays targeting phospholipid metabolism.

Quality Control

Our Lysophosphatidylcholines, Egg are produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and fatty acid profile analysis, to ensure consistency and meet the stringent requirements for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications for identity, assay, and impurities are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation and exposure to air.
