S-LYSOPC is a lysophosphocoline connceted to hydrophobic fatty acid tail (stearic acid) by a glycerol. This compound is an bioactive lysophosphatidylcholine derived compound found to be released by bronchial epithelial cells and have also been utilized in the development of liposomes and michelles by drug transdermal delivery devices.
1-Stearoyl-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (S-lysoPC) is a phospholipid-like compound, also known as SN. It is obtained by the reaction of stearic acid esterified glycerol and choline hypophosphate.S-lysoPC is a surfactant with good emulsification and micellization ability. It has a wide range of applications in the field of medicine and cosmetics. As a phospholipid, S-lysoPC can be used to prepare lipid nanoparticles, nanocapsules and liposomes for drug delivery and targeted therapy.
The common method for preparing S-lysoPC is to form stearoyl glycerol by esterification of stearic acid with glycerol, and then react with choline hypophosphite to form S-lysoPC.
Regarding safety information, S-lysoPC are considered safe under normal use conditions. However, for any chemical substance, the correct use and handling is very important. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, or contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact or discomfort, seek medical help immediately.
