1,2-Di-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
1,2-Di-O-hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (CAS 36314-47-3) is a synthetic glycerophospholipid analogue. This diacylphosphatidylcholine derivative features two hexadecyl ether chains linked to the glycerol backbone, providing increased stability compared to ester-linked phospholipids. It is primarily utilised in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving cell membranes, lipid metabolism, and the development of liposomal drug delivery systems. Its defined structure makes it valuable for creating model membrane systems.
