Heptadecan-9-amine (C17H37N, CAS 3241-20-1) has a 17-carbon chain with a primary amine (-NH2) at the 9th position. This structure plays an essential role in lipid synthesis and creating functional molecules.
Applications in Lipid Synthesis:
- Lipid-Based Surfactants: Heptadecan-9-amine combines with fatty acids to create surfactants that stabilize liposomes and micelles in drug delivery systems.
- Amphiphilic Lipids: Its hydrophobic chain and amine group help form amphiphilic lipids that self-assemble into lipid bilayers or nanoparticles, valuable for biological research and pharmaceuticals.
- Lipid-Anchoring Molecules: The amine group links molecules or proteins to lipid membranes, improving targeted drug delivery and stability.
Heptadecan-9-amine enhances biotechnology and nanotechnology by supporting membrane studies and drug development.
