General description

16:0 NBD PE is a headgroup labelled fluorescent phospholipid. L-α-Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is the most abundant phospholipid in bacteria and the second most abundant in animals, plants and yeast.

Application

16:0 NBD PE is suitable:
  • for use in the bilayer, as fluorescent probe, together with encapsulated doxorubicin (DXR) for the preparation of planar-supported lipid bilayers (PSLB) of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC)
  • used in fluorescence control experiment
  • for labelling giant plasma membrane vesicles

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-α-Phosphatidylethanolamine maintains membrane integrity.

Synthetic micromotors are evaluated extensively in a range of biomedical, microscale transport, and environmental applications. Fundamental insight into micromotors that exhibit locomotion due to triggered disintegration of their associated liposomes is provided. Directed self-propulsion is observed when the lipid vesicles

Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Chemotherapy at a late stage fails due to low accumulation in tumors, indicating the need for targeted therapy. To increase drug uptake by tumor cells, we have targeted doxorubicin-containing liposomes using
