Avanti™ DPPC Ultra High Purity
1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) is a fully saturated phospholipid with two 16-carbon acyl chains. This phospholipid is known for its critical role in liposomal formulations, pulmonary surfactant research, and advanced drug delivery systems. As such, DPPC is essential in both biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.
Applications for 16:0 PC (DPPC) include being used as a major component of lung surfactants, as it plays a significant role in respiratory function and neonatal treatments to ensure proper alveolar stability. Researchers have also noted its role in enhancing the stability and controlled release of liposomal drug delivery systems, which helps improve bioavailability and efficacy.
Because of its high transition temperature, DPPC is one of the preferred lipids for analyzing thermotropic and mechanical properties in synthetic bilayer systems. Additionally, its well-characterized phase behavior makes it suitable for utilization in lipid bilayer formation, protein-lipid interaction analysis, and thermotropic studies. 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.
