CAS 13100-90-8

Palmitoylcholine

Description:

Palmitoylcholine, with the CAS number 13100-90-8, is a quaternary ammonium compound that is a derivative of choline. It is characterized by the presence of a palmitoyl fatty acid chain, which contributes to its amphiphilic nature, allowing it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments. This compound is often utilized in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in drug delivery systems and as a surfactant due to its ability to form micelles and enhance solubility of hydrophobic drugs. Palmitoylcholine is also known for its role in cell membrane dynamics and can influence membrane fluidity and permeability. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activities related to cell signaling and membrane interactions. Its stability and compatibility with biological systems make it a valuable compound in various research and industrial applications. However, as with any chemical substance, safety and handling precautions should be observed to mitigate any potential risks associated with its use.
