DMPA (1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) is an anionic phospholipid containing two saturated C14:0 myristoyl chains and a phosphate headgroup, while its amphiphilic structure supports lipid membrane formation, liposome research, lipid nanoparticles, and biomaterial development.
Key Features and Benefits
- Phospholipid Structure: DMPA combines two hydrophobic myristoyl chains with a hydrophilic phosphate headgroup.
- C14:0 Myristoyl Chains: Two saturated C14 lipid chains specifically provide a defined hydrophobic component for lipid assemblies.
- Anionic Phosphate Headgroup: The phosphate group specifically provides an anionic lipid headgroup under appropriate conditions.
- Amphiphilic Character: DMPA contains hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions that specifically support organization in lipid-based systems.
- Saturated Lipid Structure: The saturated myristoyl chains provide defined chain length and membrane-packing characteristics.
- Lipid Membrane Formation: DMPA supports incorporation into compatible lipid bilayers, liposomes, and membrane assemblies.
- Surface Charge Modification: The phosphate headgroup supports research involving negatively charged lipid interfaces.
- Versatile Lipid Platform: DMPA supports membrane, nanoparticle, formulation, and biomaterial research.
Applications
- Liposome Research: DMPA supports preparation and investigation of anionic phospholipid-containing liposomes.
- Lipid Nanoparticle Research: Provides an anionic phospholipid component for compatible lipid nanoparticle formulations.
- Lipid Bilayer Research: Supports studies of phospholipid organization, membrane properties, and lipid interactions.
- Membrane Research: Useful for investigating anionic lipid membranes and related model systems.
- Nanoparticle Formulation: Supports development of lipid-containing nanoparticles and other nanoscale assemblies.
- Surface Charge Research: Enables investigation of negatively charged lipid interfaces and their interactions.
- Drug Delivery Research: Supports development and characterization of experimental lipid-based delivery systems.
- Biomaterial Research: Provides a saturated phospholipid platform for lipid-based materials and formulations.
Storage and Handling
- Storage: Store according to the product specification in a tightly sealed container under dry conditions.
- Handling: Protect from moisture and excessive heat. Allow the material to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
