Application

1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-1000] (18:0 PEG1000 PE) might be used to prepare sterically stabilized liposome and study its characteristics by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method. It is also suitable for use in cholesterol-free, PEGylated (CF-PEG) liposomes to study its long term stability when loaded with a hydrophilic drug, carboplatin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoethanolamine (PE) serves as a substrate for several phospholipids of the cell membrane. It is associated with phospholipid turnover. PE is also found to prevent tumor progression.

General description

The molecular weight and exact mass are averages based on the polydispersity of polyethylene glycol (PEG).
