General description

N-palmitoyl-L-serine methyl ester is an amino acid amphiphile. It is synthesized synthetically from N-succinimidyl palmitate, L-serine methyl ester hydrochloride and triethyl amine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

N-palmitoyl-L-serine methyl ester hydrochloride is used for the synthesis of N-palmitoyl-O-phosphocholine serine (PPCS), which is a prime lipid biomarker in Niemann-Pick disease type C1. It is also used for preparation of amino acid based gelators for drug delivery studies.
