The quest for more effective and targeted drug delivery systems is a cornerstone of modern pharmaceutical research. Liposomes and nanoparticles have emerged as leading platforms, offering improved drug solubility, stability, and controlled release. At the heart of these sophisticated formulations lies the quality of the lipid components, with phospholipids playing a pivotal role. 1,2-Dierucoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DEPC), identified by CAS number 51779-95-4, is a high-value phospholipid that is increasingly recognized for its contribution to the performance of these advanced delivery vehicles. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we are proud to offer high-purity DEPC to researchers and pharmaceutical companies worldwide.

DEPC is distinguished by its two long, unsaturated acyl chains (erucoyl), which significantly influence the physical properties of the lipid bilayers it forms. This structure contributes to the formation of more fluid and dynamic membranes compared to phospholipids with shorter or saturated fatty acid chains. For drug delivery applications, this fluidity can enhance the interaction of liposomes with biological membranes, facilitating efficient drug release and improved cellular uptake. When you buy DEPC from our established supply network, you ensure access to a product with a high purity level, typically 98% or greater, which is essential for consistent and predictable performance in your formulations. This focus on purity is critical for meeting regulatory requirements and achieving desired therapeutic outcomes.

The utility of DEPC in creating stable and effective drug delivery systems is well-documented. It is frequently employed in the development of long-circulating liposomes, which can evade rapid clearance by the immune system, thereby prolonging drug action. Furthermore, DEPC is a valuable component in the formulation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the delivery of nucleic acids, such as mRNA, a technology that has revolutionized vaccine development and gene therapy. As a reliable supplier, we understand the demand for consistent quality and timely delivery, especially for critical research and manufacturing needs. We encourage you to contact us for comprehensive information on purchasing DEPC, including details on bulk orders and competitive pricing available from our China-based operations.

Beyond its direct application in formulations, DEPC also serves as an important research tool for understanding lipid-protein interactions and the fundamental properties of cell membranes. Its specific acyl chain composition allows researchers to probe how lipid unsaturation and chain length affect membrane integrity and function. By sourcing high-grade DEPC, scientists can gain deeper insights into these complex biological phenomena. We are committed to supporting scientific advancement by providing researchers with the high-quality chemicals they need.
