COATSOME ME-4040 (DMPE), or 1,2-Dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, is a ≥99% pure synthetic phospholipid. Featuring C14:0 fatty acids (14 carbon atoms, no double bonds, myristic acid) at both the sn-1 and sn-2 positions, DMPE provides a small phosphoethanolamine headgroup, promoting membrane curvature and facilitating membrane fusion in lipid-based formulations.
DMPE is suitable for liposomal and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations, and supports the development of advanced drug delivery systems requiring enhanced membrane fusion or endosomal escape. Manufactured using highly purified fatty acids, ME-4040 offers consistent quality for pharmaceutical research and clinical applications.
