Application

Antitumor phospholipid, induces apoptosis in three human leukemic cell lines.

Biochem/physiol Actions

C18-phosphocholine was the most potent alkylphosphocholine tested in inhibiting phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. The effect is mediated by interrupting the translocation of the rate-limiting enzyme, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase, to membranes, where it is active.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Properties of the aqueous dispersions of n-octadecylphosphocholine are examined by differential scanning calorimetry, fluorescence depolarization, light scattering, 31P-NMR, pig pancreatic phospholipase A2 binding, and X-ray diffraction. On heating, these dispersions exhibit a sharp lamellar to micelle transition at 20.5 degrees

Alkylphosphate esters were shown to be potent inhibitors of phospholipase D. Using phosphatidyl choline/sodium dodecylsulfate (2:1) as substrate, IC50 values were determined for alkylphosphocholines of different chain length (C10-C18) and for various octadecylphosphate esters with different polar head groups. The

Hexadecylphosphocholine (HPC) and octadecylphosphocholine (OPC) show very potent antitumor activity against autochthonous methylnitrosourea-induced mammary carcinomas in rats. The longer-chain and unsaturated homologue erucylphosphocholine (EPC) forms lamellar structures rather than micelles, but nonetheless exhibits antineoplastic activity. Methylnitrosourea was used in the
