Uses
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.
Definition
ChEBI: 1,2-dioctanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in which the acyl groups at positions 1 and 2 are specified as octanoyl. It is a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and an octanoate ester.
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.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphatidylcholine?(PC) can form a hydrophobic surface in the mucus by acting as a surfactant to inhibit the penetrance of bacteria.
