17:1 Lyso PC is a lysophosphatidylcholine lipid used to simulate biological phospholipid membranes and to formulate liposomes for drug delivery research. It forms vesicles with concentric phospholipid bilayers, enabling encapsulation of polar, water-soluble payloads in the internal aqueous space and incorporation of lipophilic payloads within the lipid layer. It is commonly used in studies of anticancer, anti-infection, and nucleic-acid delivery.
