Halogenated Lipids

Halogenated Lipids

BOC Sciences is strategically positioned to be a full-service company specializing in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. We customize a wide range of products and specialize in complex biological products, especially lipids, oligonucleotides, peptides and steroids. In addition, we can optimize and scale up halogenated lipids and provide purification and analysis of lipids according to specific customer requirements.

What are Halogenated Lipids?

Halogenated lipids are lipid compounds containing halogens (e.g. F, Cl, I, etc.) that are formed by the substitution of one or more of the hydrogen atoms by chlorine atoms. Halogenated lipids can affect the physical properties and functions of membranes, regulate cell permeability and stability, and also act as signaling molecules involved in intercellular communication and regulation.

Methods of Halogenated Lipid Preparation

This reaction involves reacting an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon with a halogen to produce a halogenated lipid.

Halogenated lipids are prepared by electrophilic substitution reaction of compounds such as fatty acids and fatty alcohols with halogen-containing compounds.

The reaction of an acylating reagent with a fatty acid to prepare an acyl halogenated compound, followed by an amine substitution reaction to prepare a halogenated lipid.

Halogenated lipids can also be prepared directly using atom halogenation.

BOC Sciences' Halogenated Lipid Synthesis Services

BOC Sciences offers custom synthesis of halogenated lipid compounds on a scale from milligrams to kilograms. Our team is well versed in new route design and route optimization, and is capable of providing high-quality chemically tailored synthesis services to our clients due to our problem-solving proficiency and high project success rate.

Halogenated lipids can be prepared by different methods. We can provide our customers with various types of products, such as chlorinated lipids, brominated lipids and iodinated lipids.

We can continuously change the composition of lipids and halogens and refine the mixtures to achieve the desired efficacy. We provide advanced analytical characterization services and evaluate their performance.

To support research in drug delivery systems, we are committed to continuously optimizing the production conditions of our customers' lipids and upgrading the scale of production in our methodology labs. We can provide you with tests for product stability and deliver consistent and high-quality products based on stringent quality control mechanisms.
