LecithinL-a-1-Stearoyl-2-Oleoyl - Introduction
1-Steroyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (SOPC) is a phospholipid. Its molecular formula is C44H87NO8P and its molecular weight is 770.145g/mol. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid.
SOPC has two fatty acid groups, one is stearic acid (18 carbons) and the other is oleic acid (18 carbons) acylated glyceride group. It also has phosphocholine. This gives it an important structure and function in biological membranes.
One of the main uses of SOPC is as a research material for biofilm model research. It can be used in biomedical research, pharmaceutical industry and surface science research.
The common method for preparing SOPC is to synthesize it by esterification of glycerol phosphatidylcholine (GPC) and the corresponding fatty acid. This process usually involves an esterifying agent, such as N,N'-diisopropylCabatian or N,N'-diisopropylCabatian.
Regarding safety information, SOPC is a chemical substance, and some safety measures need to be paid attention. Wear personal protective equipment such as lab gloves and goggles to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Store and handle the compound properly to avoid contact with flammable materials or exposure to high temperatures. In the process of use, follow the correct operating procedures and laboratory regulations.
