PMPC; PC(16:0/14:0), also known as 1-palmitoyl-2-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, is a phosphatidylcholine with asymmetrical fatty acid. Palmitic acid occupies sn-1 position while myristic acid is placed at the sn-2 position.

PMPC is used in compositions and methods for treating platelet-?related diseases.

ChEBI: 1-palmitoyl-2-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine 30:0 in which the phosphatidyl acyl groups at positions 1 and 2 are palmitoyl (hexadecanoyl) and myristoyl (tetradecanoyl) respectively. It is a phosphatidylcholine 30:0 and a tetradecanoate ester. It is functionally related to a 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.
