General description

Ceramide is a sphingolipid metabolite. The ceramides differ in their acyl chain length.

Application

C16 PEG750 Ceramide might be used as a control to test for nonspecific interactions during titrations of DNA-nanotube complexes with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated lipids.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Therapeutic drugs enclosed in poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) conjugated ceramide serves as liposomal carriers, ensuring a longer circulation period. It exhibits a neutral surface electrostatic charge which prevents the leaking of positively charged encapsulated drug molecule.

Packaging

5 mL Amber Glass Screw Cap Vial (880680P-25mg)

Lipid accumulation within the lumen of endolysosomal vesicles is observed in various pathologies including atherosclerosis, liver disease, neurological disorders, lysosomal storage disorders, and cancer. Current methods cannot measure lipid flux specifically within the lysosomal lumen of live cells. We developed

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugated lipids have been used to increase the circulation longevity of liposomal carriers encapsulating therapeutic compounds. PEG is typically conjugated to distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE) via a carbamate linkage that results in a net negative charge on the phosphate

Nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery has long utilized PEGylation as a mechanism for reducing uptake by the reticuloendothelial system and extending circulation lifetimes. However, studies over the past 2 decades have established that immune responses to PEG can promote clearance on repeat injection
