Description

Phosphatidylcholine species are a common class of phospholipids that comprise the mammalian cell membrane. 1,2-Didecanoyl PC is a synthetic, less hydrophobic phospholipis that has been found to be useful for enhancing the absorption of peptide drugs and hormones such as insulin. Thus, the bioavailability of intranasally applied human growth hormone is enhanced when coadministered with the absorption enhancer 1,2-didecanoyl PC.¹
