Phospholipid COATSOME


   
Background
Phospholipids are one of the substances found in human cells. They are also the basic ingredients of liposome formulations, which are themselves used in drug delivery systems (DDS) to enable the effective internal delivery of drugs. Separately, phospholipids are also used in cosmetics as moisturizers and emulsifiers.

Characteristics
Phospholipids are manufactured by extracting natural phospholipid material found in soybeans and egg yellows, and refining it to a grade where it can be used in the manufacture of liposome formulations and cosmetics.

To achieve the necessary grade for liposome formulations, advanced refining and synthesis technologies are employed to create a highly pure compound, which is then used in the development of DDS agents.
