Application

1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (18:0 EPC) might be used:
  • to study its effect on the synergistic antimicrobial action of eugenol against Escherichia coli C600
  • to test its use in the formation of lipid nanoparticle variants
  • as a constituent of the microbubble formulation
  • to prepare lipid monolayer for the study on the nature and orientation of interaction between graphene oxide (GO) and lipid models

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cationic lipids are useful co-adjuvants for promoting the immunogenicity of vaccines. 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (18:0 EPC) is a cationic lipid and is found to upregulate cluster of differentiation (CD)80 and CD86 co-stimulatory molecules. The hydrophilic moiety and the acyl chains of the cationic lipids highly influences their co-stimulatory action.
