1-Stearoyl-2-Arachidonoyl-d8-sn-glycero-3-PC (Synonyms: 18:0/20:4-d8-PC, PC(18:0/20:4-d8), SAPCd8, 1-Stearoyl-2-Arachidonoyl-d8-sn-glycero-3-Phosphatidylcholine, 1-Stearoyl-2-Arachidonoyl-d8-sn-glycero-3-Phosphocholine)

1-Stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-d₈-sn-glycero-3-PC is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC by GC- or LC-MS. 1-Stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC (SAPC) is a phospholipid containing stearic acid and arachidonic acid at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, respectively. It is a component of LDL and has been found in human stenotic aortic valves and atherosclerotic plaques.^1,2 Levels of SAPC are increased in the subepithelial invasive region compared to the superficial region of tumor tissue samples from patients with superficial-type pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.³ SAPC unilamellar vesicles have been used as substrates to quantify the activity of secretory phospholipase A₂ (sPLA₂) in the presence or absence of inhibitors.⁴ SAPC has also been used in the formation of lipid bilayers to study the effects of lipid composition on bilayer phase transitions.⁵
