General description

18:0-18:2 phosphatidylcholine (PC) has a saturated fatty acid at the sn-1 position, unsaturated fatty acid at the sn-2 position and phosphate-containing polar group at the sn-3 position. PC is a zwitterionic phospholipid. PC is synthesized by Kennedy pathway from choline.

Application

18:0-18:2 PC is suitable for use:
  • in the preparation of large unilamellar vesicles
  • in the preparation of liposomes
  • to prepare oxidised phospholipid by 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) analysis

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatidylcholine is one of the major glycerophospholipids of the eukaryotic membranes. It is essential for maintaining the structure and functions of the membrane. PC is the substrate for sphingomyelin synthesis. PC is the precursor for various second messenger like phosphatidic acid, lysophosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol.

The polyphenolic structures of flavonoids and isoflavonoids confer them with the ability to scavenge free radicals and to chelate transition metals, a basis for their potent antioxidant abilities. Another possible contributory mechanism toward their antioxidant activities is their ability to

The presence of carbon-carbon double bonds (C═Cs) in unsaturated phospholipids is closely related to lipid conformations and physiochemical activities. Previously, we have demonstrated that epoxidation reaction facilitated by low-temperature plasma (LTP) enabled the structural analysis of unsaturated fatty acids (FAs).
