:

(2R)-2,3-bis(butanoyloxy)propyl 2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl phosphate

Description:
The chemical substance known as (2R)-2,3-bis(butanoyloxy)propyl 2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl phosphate, with the CAS number 3355-26-8, is a phospholipid derivative that exhibits amphiphilic properties, meaning it has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) regions. This characteristic makes it an important component in biological membranes and various biochemical applications. The presence of the trimethylammonio group contributes to its cationic nature, enhancing its interaction with negatively charged surfaces, such as cell membranes. The butanoyloxy groups provide additional hydrophobic character, which can influence the molecule's solubility and stability in different environments. This compound is often studied for its potential roles in drug delivery systems, surfactants, and as a model for membrane studies due to its ability to form micelles or liposomes. Its structural features allow it to participate in various biochemical interactions, making it a subject of interest in both synthetic and biological chemistry.
