Description

Glycerophospholipids are a class of lipids that contain glycerol and phosphoric acid esters. 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate monosodium salt is a lipid found in many organisms. It is known to have fluidity properties and can be enzymatically inactivated by chlorides. Glycerophospholipids are also the targets of antibiotics such as fusidic acid, which binds to the phosphate groups on their surface. The molecular target for these antibiotics is the head group of the phosphoglyceride molecule, which is composed of one glycerol and two phosphate groups. This head group interacts with the bacterial cell membrane and causes an increase in permeability to ions, leading to cell lysis. Liposomal formulations such as cationic liposomes are used to deliver drugs across the cell membrane into cells. These formulations form an outer layer that is positively charged and
