General description

Brain Extract Polar comprises phosphatidylethanolamine as a major lipid component. It also contains phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylcholine. The minor components include the phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylinositol.
Brain Polar Lipid Extract is derived from the total lipid extract by precipitation with acetone followed by extraction of the acetone insoluble material with diethyl ether.

Application

Brain Extract Polar has been used in parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) for coating membrane to evaluate blood brain-barrier permeability, and for drug permeability studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipid extracts from the mammalian tissues like brain, kidney and liver are used in generating model membranes for mimicking real membranes. Brain lipid, especially the polar fraction play a key role in the inhibition of prion seeded amyloid formation.
