Description and Uses

DPPC, also known as 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine, is a phospholipid containing the 16 carbon fatty acid/palmitic acid (16:0) at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions. It is commonly used in the generation of micelles, liposomes, and other types of artificial membranes. Due to the medium size of fatty acid chain, DLPC is used to form thinner membranes or lipid bilayers.

16:0 PC (DPPC) is suitable for use:

• in vesicle preparation
• as the main phospholipid component for all ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) formulations
• as a component for microbubble preparation
• in the preparation of lipid bilayers
