L-A-PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE, DIOCTANOYL

Description:
L-A-Phosphatidylcholine, dioctanoyl, commonly referred to as a phospholipid, is a synthetic compound characterized by its amphiphilic nature, which means it possesses both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties. This duality allows it to form bilayers, making it a crucial component in biological membranes and liposomes. The substance is derived from phosphatidylcholine, a major component of cell membranes, and features two octanoyl (C8) fatty acid chains, contributing to its hydrophobic characteristics. It is often used in pharmaceutical formulations, drug delivery systems, and as an emulsifier in various applications due to its ability to stabilize mixtures of oil and water. Additionally, its role in cell signaling and membrane dynamics highlights its importance in biochemistry and cellular biology. The compound is typically stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis or oxidation if exposed to extreme conditions or reactive environments. Overall, L-A-Phosphatidylcholine, dioctanoyl, is a versatile and significant molecule in both research and industrial applications.
