Myristoylcholine chloride（Cat No.:R000290）is a quaternary ammonium compound, derived from myristic acid and choline. It consists of a myristoyl group (C14 fatty acid) attached to a choline molecule, with a chloride anion. This compound is often used in biochemical and pharmacological research, particularly in studies of lipid membranes and cellular signaling. Myristoylcholine chloride can mimic the properties of natural phospholipids, making it useful for studying membrane dynamics, receptor binding, and enzyme activation. It is also explored for its potential in drug delivery systems and as a synthetic intermediate in chemical synthesis.
