General description

4ME 16:0 Diether PE or 1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine is a class of glycerophospholipids having two phytane chains attached to the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone by ether bonds. It has ethanolamine as the alcohol moiety, attached to the phosphate group.

Application

4ME 16:0 Diether PE or 1,2-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine is suitable:
  • for nanoformulation of liposomal docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and ghost (no DHA, control) liposomes
  • for the preparation of archaeal-like lipid bilayers to examine the effect of humidity and temperature on it
  • as an internal standard in tandem mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (MS3) to study the effect on glycerophosphoethanolamine (GPEtn) species upon the exposure of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes to A23187 and granulocyte macrophage–colony-stimulating factor/formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine stimuli
  • as an internal standard in lipid extraction using methyl-tert-butylether (MTBE)/methanol protocol

The risk of breast cancer can be influenced by certain dietary components, such as the amount and type of dietary fatty acids ingested. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a component of fish oil, is known to suppress rat mammary carcinogenesis, reduce cell

Archaea, the most extremophilic domain of life, contain ether and branched lipids which provide extraordinary bilayer properties. We determined the structural characteristics of diether archaeal-like phospholipids as functions of hydration and temperature by neutron diffraction. Hydration and temperature are both
