Description 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine, also known as dilinoleoylphosphatidylcholine or L-dilinoleoyllecithin, is a member of the class of compounds known as phosphatidylcholines. Phosphatidylcholines are glycerophosphocholines in which the two free -OH are attached to one fatty acid each through an ester linkage. Thus, 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine is considered to be a glycerophosphocholine lipid molecule. 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine is practically insoluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine can be found in a number of food items such as green bean, malabar spinach, peach, and swede, which makes 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine can be found primarily in blood, saliva, and urine, as well as throughout all human tissues. In humans, 1-18:2-2-18:2-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis PC(18:2(9Z,12Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)) and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis PE(18:2(9Z,12Z)/18:2(9Z,12Z)).
