Avanti™ DMPC
1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC)
DMPC is a synthetic phospholipid with two 14-carbon saturated acyl chains at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of glycerophosphocholine. The phospholipid’s phase transition temperature (around 23°C) has helped make it a staple in membrane biophysics, liposome formulations, and lipid-based drug delivery systems. Additionally, it is a preferred lipid for modeling biological membranes and understanding phase transitions in controlled environments due to its thermotropic behavior.
DMPC is widely used in liposomal drug delivery systems to encapsulate hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs and ensure controlled release and bioavailability. It’s critical for studying lipid bilayers, phase transitions, and membrane-protein interactions, as it assists in the biophysical modeling of cellular membranes. DMPC improves immune response and facilitates targeted antigen delivery, which makes it a vital component in lipid-based vaccine adjuvants.
Lipids systems are a versatile option for delivering hydrophobic, hydrophilic and amphipathic APIs. Our offering of Phosphatidylcholine, Phosphatidylethanolamine, Phosphatidylserine, and Phosphatidylglycerol lipids is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties for a broad range of delivery systems.
