Lecithins

Description:

Lecithins are a group of fatty substances found in plant and animal tissues, primarily composed of phospholipids, triglycerides, and other lipids. The CAS number 8002-43-5 specifically refers to a mixture of phospholipids derived from sources such as soybeans or egg yolks. Lecithins are amphiphilic molecules, meaning they possess both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, which makes them excellent emulsifiers. This characteristic allows lecithins to stabilize mixtures of oil and water, making them widely used in food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. They play a crucial role in cell membrane structure and function, contributing to cellular signaling and metabolism. Lecithins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies and are valued for their nutritional benefits, including potential antioxidant properties and support for brain health. Additionally, they are often used in dietary supplements and functional foods due to their ability to enhance nutrient absorption.

Lecithin

CAS: 8002-43-5

Lecithin is a fat-like substance that consists of a glycerol molecule with three fatty acids attached to it. It is found in the membranes of cells and has many biological functions, including acting as an emulsifier and being involved in the uptake of cholesterol from the blood stream. Lecithin also has antioxidant properties, which have been shown by its ability to inhibit oxidation of α-tocopherol. Lecithin can be used as a therapeutic agent for inflammatory diseases and other conditions linked to oxidative stress.

L-a-Phosphatidylcholine - PC30

CAS: 8002-43-5

L-A-Phosphatidylcholine is a natural product that is extracted from the Chinese herb Salvia miltiorrhizae. It is a phospholipid that has been shown to inhibit the growth of colorectal adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. The mechanism of action for L-A-Phosphatidylcholine is unclear, but it may be due to its ability to inhibit the activity of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nitrite ion. L-A-Phosphatidylcholine also inhibits fatty acid uptake and acyl chain synthesis in vitro, as well as hydrogen bond formation with the hydroxyl group and water vapor uptake. L-A-Phosphatidylcholine also has a strong affinity for nitrate ions, which may be related to its anti-inflammatory effects.

L-a-Phosphatidylcholine - PC 20

CAS: 8002-43-5

L-a-Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a phospholipid that is present in all living cells. It is the major component of biological membranes and is essential for maintaining cell membrane integrity. PC 20 is a purified form of L-a-Phosphatidylcholine, made from soybean extract. The purity of PC 20 has been shown by its ability to inhibit nitrite ion production from soybean extract in vitro. PC 20 also has low bioavailability, meaning that it may not be absorbed well into the bloodstream following oral consumption. This may be due to the uptake of PC 20 by other organs and tissues in the body, such as the liver or spleen, before it can be transported to the blood stream. Further research is needed to determine how PC 20 affects colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.
