Lipids are compounds that are insoluble in water and can be extracted by non-polar organic solvents such as ether, chloroform, and benzene. They
mainly include esters and their derivatives generated by the interaction of fatty acids and alcohols. They are also commonly called fats and
oils. Lipids are polymers of fatty acids containing long nonpolar hydrocarbon chains and small polar regions containing oxygen. Lipids play many
important roles in the human body, including as a source of energy, forming the structure of cell membranes, as signaling molecules, and as
insulators that protect internal organs. In addition, lipids are also raw materials for various pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

What Does a Lipid Do?
Lipids are a type of organic small molecule substances in the body, which cover a wide range, have greatly different chemical structures, and
have different physiological functions. The common physical property of lipids is that they are insoluble in water but soluble in organic
solvents, and can aggregate with each other in water to form internal hydrophobic aggregates. There are three main directions for understanding
lipids:
Lipids in Food
Lipids in Human Body/Animals
Lipid and Derivatives
- The fields of medicine, nutrition, sports and health are more concerned, mainly considering the relationship between diet and human or animal
diseases. Generally, those that are liquid at room temperature are called oils, while those that are solid at room temperature are called
fats.
- Physiology and pathology focus on studying the role of lipids in their physiological/pathological states. Lipids are also components of human
cell tissues, such as cell membranes and nerve myelin sheaths.
- In recent years, researchers have begun to explore the application of lipids in drug development and chemical production, including drug delivery, pharmaceutical preparations, specialty chemical manufacturing, cosmetics development, etc.
Lipid Structure
Lipids cover a wide range, and there are many ways to classify them. Lipids are usually classified according to their main components: simple
lipids, complex lipids, derived lipids, and unsaponifiable lipids. Lipids include a variety of molecules, which are characterized by being mainly
composed of two elements, carbon and hydrogen, with non-polar covalent bonds. Since these molecules are non-polar, they are incompatible with
water and are therefore hydrophobic. Strictly speaking, lipids are not macromolecules because their relative molecular masses are not as large as
those of sugars, proteins, and nucleic acids, and they are not polymers.
Lipid Bilayer
The lipid bilayer is the basic structural unit of the cell membrane and the basis for the cell to maintain its morphology and function. It is
a double-layer structure formed by the spontaneous arrangement of phospholipid molecules.
Lipid Monomer
Lipid monomers are basic biomolecules that serve as the basic building blocks of lipids and have key physiological functions. There are many
types of lipids, including fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols, among which fatty acids are the most common lipid monomers.
Lipids are composed primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Their structure typically includes a hydrophobic (water-repelling) tail and a
hydrophilic (water-attracting) head of a long hydrocarbon chain, making lipids essential for cell membranes. Common types of lipids include
triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids, each with a unique structure. Triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids, while
phospholipids have a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate group. These components make lipids versatile in biological roles,
such as energy storage, insulation, and cell structure, as well as in a variety of industrial applications.
Simple Lipids
A compound formed by the dehydration condensation of fatty acids and alcohols.
- Wax: They are water-insoluble solids that are esters of higher fatty acids and long-chain monohydroxy fatty alcohols, or esters of higher
fatty acid sterols. Common ones include real wax, sterol wax, etc. Real wax is a type of fatty acid ester of long-chain monohydric
alcohol. Solid ester wax is an ester formed from sterols and fatty acids, such as vitamin A ester, vitamin D ester, etc.
Complex Lipids
Complex lipids are fatty acid esters containing other chemical groups. The body mainly contains two complex lipids, phospholipids and
glycolipids.
- Phospholipids: Glycerophospholipids (lecithin, cephalin), sphingomyelin (abundant in nerve cells).
- Glycerolipids: Higher fatty acids and glycerin, the most abundant lipids.
Lipid Precursors and Derivatives
Fatty acids and their derivatives prostaglandins, etc. Long-chain fatty alcohols, such as cetyl alcohol, etc.
- Terpenes and steroids and their derivatives: Do not contain fatty acids and are all derivatives of isoprene.
- Derived lipids: Hydrolyzates of the above lipids, including fatty acids and their derivatives, glycerin, sphingosine, etc. Higher fatty
acids, glycerol, sterols, prostaglandins.
Conjugated Lipids
A complex formed between lipids and other biomolecules. Such as glycolipids, lipoproteins, etc.
- Glycolipids: Compounds in which sugars and lipids are linked by glycosidic bonds (covalent bonds), such as cholera toxin.
- Lipoproteins: Products formed by non-covalent combination of lipids and proteins in the liver, such as several lipoproteins in the blood.
Fat
Grease is triglyceride or triacylglycerol, which is the collective name for oil and fat. Fat is synthesized from the dehydration of glycerol and
fatty acids. The -OH in the carboxyl group of the fatty acid combines with the -H in the hydroxyl group of the glycerol and loses a molecule of
water, so an ester bond is formed between the glycerol and the fatty acid and becomes a fat molecule. The three acyl groups in fats (the
remaining atomic groups after removing hydroxyl groups from inorganic or organic oxygen-containing acids) are generally different and originate
from C16, C18 or other fatty acids. Fatty acids with double bonds are called unsaturated fatty acids, and those without double bonds are called
saturated fatty acids. Oils and fats are widely distributed. There is a certain amount of oils in the seeds of various plants and the tissues
and organs of animals. In particular, the seeds of oil crops and the adipose tissue under the skin of animals are rich in oils. Fat in the human
body accounts for about 10% to 20% of body weight. There are many types of fatty acids in the human body, and they can be arranged and combined
in different ways when producing triglycerides. Therefore, triglycerides exist in many forms.
Lipoids
Lipoids include three major categories: phospholipids , glycolipids, and cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Phospholipids are lipids containing phosphoric acid, including glycerophospholipids composed of glycerol and
sphingomyelin composed of sphingosine. In animal brains and eggs, soybean seeds contain more phospholipids. Glycolipids are lipids
containing sugar groups. In addition, substances such as cholesterol and steroids mainly include cholesterol, bile acid, sex hormones,
vitamin D, etc. These substances play an important regulatory role in maintaining normal metabolism and reproductive processes of organisms.
In addition, cholesterol is also a synthetic raw material for fatty acid salts, vitamin D3 and steroid hormones. It plays an important role in
regulating the absorption of lipids, especially the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and calcium and phosphorus metabolism. These
three major types of lipids are important components of biological membranes, forming a hydrophobic barrier that separates water-soluble
components of cells and divides cells into small compartments such as organelles/nuclei, ensuring that multiple processes occur simultaneously
within the cell. A variety of metabolic activities without interfering with each other, maintaining the normal structure and function of cells,
etc.
Lipid Function
Molecules in lipids not only provide structure to the cell membrane, but also store energy and play an important role in cell signaling and
functional regulation. Defects in lipid metabolism can cause a variety of inherited metabolic diseases. Typically, the accumulation of abnormal
lipids in the blood and tissues that damage cells lead to disorders of lipid metabolism. Accurate identification of abnormal lipids is the key to
effective diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, lipids can be used as drug delivery systems, drug targets, or even as therapeutic agents
themselves.
Lipids for Cellular Energy Storage
Lipids are the best form of energy storage. For example, triglycerides are an important source of energy for the body. Each gram of
triglycerides contains 9 kcal. Excess calories from carbohydrates, proteins, fats and alcohol are converted into fatty acids (triglycerides)
and stored in the body. Triglycerides can also assist in the digestion, absorption and transport of vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins
A, D, E, K) can only be digested and absorbed by the body when combined with fat.
Lipids for Biomembrane Scaffolds
Liquid mosaic model of cell membrane: phospholipid diester layer, cholesterol, proteins, glycolipids, glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelin.
Among them, phospholipids are not only the main component of cell membranes, but also an important emulsifier. The digestion and transport of
fat must be carried out smoothly with the participation of emulsifiers. Additionally, some research suggests that lecithin may help prevent
Alzheimer's disease and lower blood cholesterol levels.
Lipids for Biological Signaling
Lipids are also precursors of hormones, vitamins and pigments (terpenes, sterols). For example, cholesterol is the most important animal
sterol, which can synthesize steroid hormones (sex steroids and corticosteroids) and vitamin D; it can also synthesize bile, which is an
important emulsifier in the human body.
Lipid for Drug Delivery
Lipid-based drug delivery systems have several advantages over other drug delivery systems. For example, they are biocompatible,
biodegradable, and protect the drug from degradation and clearance by the body's immune system. Lipid-based drug delivery systems can
also improve the solubility and bioavailability of insoluble drugs and can increase the circulation time of drugs in the body. Lipids
can be used to formulate drug molecules into lipid nanoparticles, liposomes , micelles, or solid lipid nanoparticles, thereby enhancing drug solubility, stability, and targeting to specific tissues or cells.
Lipids for Drug Targets
Lipid compounds may also serve as drug targets for the development of novel therapeutic agents. Lipids are involved in various cellular
processes, including cell signaling, inflammation, and metabolism, and dysregulation of lipid metabolism has been implicated in the
pathogenesis of many diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Targeting lipid metabolism pathways
using small molecule inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies has emerged as a promising approach to treat these diseases.
Lipids for Therapeutic Agents
Lipid compounds themselves can also be used as therapeutic agents to treat a variety of diseases. For example, omega-3 fatty acids have been
shown to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties and have been studied for their potential in treating
cardiovascular disease, inflammatory diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. Lipid compounds derived from natural sources, such as vegetable
oils, marine oils, and microbial lipids, are also being investigated for their potential in drug development.
The industrial synthesis of lipid derivatives involves advanced chemical and enzymatic processes to modify natural lipids, enhancing their
functionality for various applications. Techniques such as hydrogenation, transesterification, and acylation enable the creation of tailored
lipid derivatives with specific properties like improved stability, solubility, and compatibility. These synthetic modifications make lipid
derivatives suitable for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food production, and biodegradable materials. With scalable production methods and
quality control, the industrial synthesis of lipid derivatives supports high-demand sectors, meeting rigorous standards for performance and
sustainability.
