1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

Description:
1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) is a phospholipid commonly used in biochemistry and biophysics, particularly in studies involving cell membranes and liposomes. It is characterized by its two palmitic acid chains, which are saturated fatty acids, contributing to its structural stability and rigidity at physiological temperatures. DPPC has a glycerol backbone with a phosphate group attached to the third carbon, which is further linked to a choline moiety, making it a zwitterionic molecule. This unique structure allows DPPC to form bilayers in aqueous environments, mimicking biological membranes. It exhibits a phase transition temperature, below which it is in a gel state and above which it transitions to a fluid state, influencing membrane fluidity and permeability. DPPC is also utilized in drug delivery systems and as a surfactant in various pharmaceutical formulations due to its ability to stabilize emulsions and enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. Its CAS number is 63-89-8, indicating its unique identification in chemical databases.
