Application

1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (18:0 EPC) might be used:
  • to study its effect on the synergistic antimicrobial action of eugenol against Escherichia coli C600
  • to test its use in the formation of lipid nanoparticle variants
  • as a constituent of the microbubble formulation
  • to prepare lipid monolayer for the study on the nature and orientation of interaction between graphene oxide (GO) and lipid models

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cationic lipids are useful as co-adjuvants to promote the immunogenicity of vaccines. 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine (18:0 EPC) is a cationic lipid and is found to upregulate cluster of differentiation (CD)80 and CD86 co-stimulatory molecules. The hydrophilic moiety and the acyl chains of the cationic lipids highly influences their co-stimulatory action.

In this study, the effect of individual lecithin phospholipids on the antimicrobial properties of eugenol against Escherichia coli C600 was investigated. We tested five major phospholipids common in soy or egg lecithin (1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DPPC], 1,2-dioctadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC], 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine [DPPE], 1,2-dihexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate [sodium

Cationic lipids are positively charged amphiphilic molecules which, for most of them, form positively charged liposomes, sometimes in combination with a neutral helper lipid. Such liposomes are mainly used as efficient DNA, RNA or protein carriers for gene therapy or
