1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-Myo-inositol-4',5'-bisphosphate) (aMMoniuM salt)(CAS: 799268-59-0)

The compound is a phospholipid with a complex structure. It has a crystalline form with a specific molecular weight of approximately 1000 Da. Its solubility is low in water but better in organic solvents. It is reactive and susceptible to hydrolysis and oxidation under certain conditions. The compound is stable under neutral pH and moderate temperatures.

The compound is synthesized through a multi-step process involving esterification and phosphorylation reactions. Commonly, it is synthesized using a transesterification reaction between a stearoyl and arachidonoyl donor and glycerol, followed by phosphorylation using Myo-inositol-4,5-bisphosphate. The synthesis is typically catalyzed by lipases and requires careful control of reaction conditions to achieve high yield and selectivity.

This compound is primarily used in pharmaceutical and biochemical research, as a model lipid for studying biological membranes and signaling pathways. It is also used in the development of novel drug delivery systems and as a component in certain sensors and semiconductors.

When handling this compound, it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work should be conducted in a fume hood to minimize inhalation risks. Spills should be cleaned up using appropriate absorbents and disposed of according to local regulations. The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) should be consulted for detailed safety information and emergency procedures.
