1,2-Dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (DHPC-C6) is a synthetic phospholipid containing the short-chain (6:0) caproic acid inserted at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It is a substrate for phospholipase C isolated from B. cereus as well as phospholipase A2 isolated from A. halys blomhoffi and N. naja atra snake venom. DHPC is commonly used in the generation of micelles, liposomes, and other types of artificial membranes.
L-α-Dihexanoyllecithin is used in the targeted delivery of adamantylated peptidoglycan immunomodulators in lipid nanocarriers.
ChEBI: 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a phosphatidylcholine 12:0 in which both acyl groups are specified as hexanoyl. It has a role as a surfactant. It is functionally related to a hexanoic acid.
