General description

Hexadecylphosphocholine is a structural analog of palmitoyl lysophosphatidylcholine that is more stable to hydrolytic degradation. The lipid is often used as a detergent for membrane protein solubilization and purification. It has been shown to have antineoplastic and antiprotozoal activity.

Application

MAPCHO®-16 has been used to test against Leishmania intracellular amastigotes. It has also been use to evaluate its efficacy in L. infantum chagasi infections.

Biochem/physiol Actions

MAPCHO®-16/ n-hexadecylphosphocholine/Miltefosine can be used as a stationary phase to determine total acidity of divalent cations by ion chromatography. It is used in the oral treatment of human leishmaniasis

Edelfosine (1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine) and miltefosine (hexadecylphosphocholine) are synthetic alkylphospholipids (ALPs) that are reported to selectively accumulate in tumor cell membranes, inducing Fas clustering and activation on lipid rafts, triggering apoptosis. However, the exact mechanism by which these lipids elicit these events
