COATSOME ME-6060 (DPPE), or 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, is a ≥99% pure synthetic phospholipid. Featuring C16:0 fatty acids (16 carbon atoms, no double bonds, palmitic acid) at both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, DPPE provides a small phosphoethanolamine headgroup, promoting membrane curvature and facilitating membrane fusion in lipid-based formulations.
DPPE is suitable for liposomal and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations, and supports the development of advanced drug delivery systems requiring enhanced membrane fusion or endosomal escape. Manufactured using highly purified fatty acids, ME-6060 offers consistent quality for pharmaceutical research and clinical applications.
