Description
General description
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is one of the most important constituent of colon′s mucosal layer. 14:0-18:0 PC (1-myristoyl-2-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is an asymmetrical lipid.
Application
14:0-18:0 PC (1-myristoyl-2-stearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) may be used:
in lipid bilayers to study its miscibility with d-erythro-N-palmitoyl-sphingomyelin (16:0-SM) using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
as an asymmetrical lipid in liposomes to study the impact of bilayer area and lipid geometry on the design of liposomes as liposomal solubilizing agents
to prepare a low temperature-sensitive liposome encapsulating thrombolytics to assess thrombolytic activity following hyperthermia
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) can form a hydrophobic surface in the mucus by acting as a surfactant to inhibit the penetrance of bacteria.
