Ent-DOPC
2,3-Dioleoyl-glycero-1-phosphocholine
Ent-DOPC/Ent-2,3-Dioleoyl-Glycero-1-Phosphocholine is an enantiomer of the phospholipid DOPC/2,3-dioleoyl-glycero-1-phosphocholine.
Enantiomers are a pair of stereoisomers, called optical isomers, antipodes, or optical antipodes. They are non-superposable mirror images of one another, meaning they have opposite three-dimensional shapes.
DOPC is a phospholipid that contains the unsaturated long-chain (18:1) oleic acid, inserted at 2nd and 3rd carbon positions. The compound is also a member of the phosphatidylcholines family. Phosphatidylcholines (PC) are phospholipids containing choline as a headgroup.
As a PC, DOPC is naturally found in the membranes of eukaryotic cells as a structural component.
DOPC is often used in the synthesis of artificial membranes, micelles, and liposomes.
The phospholipid is considered to have antimicrobial activity. It has been investigated to disrupt cell membranes and suppress protein synthesis in bacteria, which inhibits the growth of the microorganisms.
Biological studies have found that DOPC can also serve as a growth factor for neutrophils.
Ent-DOPC is an alternative to DOPC, making it useful for research analyses in a range of pre-clinical testing endeavors.
Avanti’s Ent-DOPC is a high-standard experimental compound suitable for your lipid-based researc.
