General description

18:3 (cis) PC or 1,2-dilinolenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is an unsaturated glycerophospholipid, with substitution of two chains of linolenic acid at sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone, along with choline as a headgroup.
The list of Phosphatidylcholine products offered by Avanti is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties. Products available include short chain (C3-C8 are water soluble and hygroscopic), saturated, multi-unsaturated and mixed acid PC′s. All of the products are purified by HPLC, and special precautions are taken to protect the products for oxidization and hydrolysis.

Application

18:3 (cis) PC or 1,2-dilinolenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine:
  • might be used in aqueous lipid-trehalose formulations to assess the long-term storage stability of lyophilized liposomes
  • might be used in phospholipid monolayer to study the instability of unsaturated phospholipids at specified conditions
  • has been used in aqueous sugar formulations or liposome formulations to characterize its degradation during lyophilization

As liquid liposomal formulations are prone to chemical degradation and aggregation, these formulations often require freeze drying (e.g., lyophilization) to achieve sufficient shelf-life. However, liposomal formulations may undergo oxidation during lyophilization and/or during prolonged storage. The goal of the current
