Application

08:0 PC (1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/C8PC) has been used as a substrate to study the analytical capabilities of several methods to determine water soluble phospholipids containing choline (wCh-PL) and also to study the behavior of the its analytical signal in a synthetic serum matrix (data-Trol). It may also be used as a bicellar model to study their phase behavior and to form a lipid film to study its effect on P-glycoprotein′s (P-gp′s) activity/to compare its effect with TWEEN^®80 and Cremophor^®EL.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine(PC) can form a hydrophobic surface in the mucus by acting as a surfactant to inhibit the penetrance of bacteria.

General description

The list of Phosphatidylcholine products offered by Avanti is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties. Products available include short chain (C3-C8 are water soluble and hygroscopic), saturated, multi-unsaturated and mixed acid PC′s. All of the products are purified by HPLC, and special precautions are taken to protect the products for oxidization and hydrolysis.

Phosphatidylcholine(PC) is one of the most important constituent of the mucosal layer of the colon. 08:0 PC (1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/C8PC) is a water soluble short alkyl chain lipid.
