Stearoylcholine chloride

Description:

Stearoylcholine chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound characterized by its long-chain fatty acid structure, specifically derived from stearic acid. It is a white to off-white solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. This compound features a positively charged nitrogen atom, which is typically associated with surfactant properties, allowing it to interact with biological membranes and cellular structures. Stearoylcholine chloride is often used in pharmaceutical formulations, particularly in drug delivery systems, due to its ability to enhance membrane permeability. Additionally, it may serve as a stabilizing agent in cosmetic products and as a surfactant in industrial applications. Its safety profile generally indicates low toxicity, but like many quaternary ammonium compounds, it can be an irritant at higher concentrations. Overall, stearoylcholine chloride is valued for its emulsifying and surfactant properties, contributing to its utility in both medicinal and industrial contexts.
