Lipid Synthesis Services
BOC Sciences is a leading provider of custom lipid synthesis services. Lipids are a diverse class of organic compounds that play important roles in a variety of biological processes. BOC Sciences offers lipid synthesis solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and other industries. BOC Sciences' custom lipid synthesis services include the synthesis of various lipid molecules such as fatty acids, phospholipids, glycolipids, sphingolipids, and sterols. These lipids can be synthesized in high purity and in various quantities, from milligrams to kilograms, according to customer requirements.
What Is Lipid Synthesis?
Lipids can be synthesized from a variety of starting materials, such as fatty acids, alcohols and glycerol. The choice of starting materials depends on the desired lipid structure and properties. The starting material is usually activated to make it more reactive to subsequent reactions. For example, fatty acids can be activated by converting them into fatty acid esters or fatty acyl chlorides. Then, the activated starting materials can be linked together by esterification, transesterification or condensation to form a lipid backbone. In addition, enzymes such as lipases and phospholipases can also be used for lipid synthesis by enzymatic methods.

Our Lipid Synthesis Services
Chemical Synthesis
BOC Sciences has a team of experienced chemists and scientists specializing in lipid chemical synthesis. We have in-depth knowledge and expertise in the synthesis of various lipids including but not limited to phospholipids, glycolipids, sphingolipids, sterols and fatty acids. We can synthesize lipids with varying chain lengths, degrees of unsaturation, and functional groups, enabling customers to obtain lipids tailored to their research needs. We are committed to following strict quality control procedures to ensure the purity and integrity of our synthetic lipids. Advanced analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry are used to verify the structure and purity of the product.
Enzymatic Synthesis
Enzyme-catalyzed lipid synthesis refers to the process in which enzymes promote the formation of lipids through chemical reactions. An example of an enzyme catalyzing lipid synthesis is the formation of triglycerides. The process involves the esterification of three fatty acids with a glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride molecule. Enzymes called acyltransferases catalyze this reaction by transferring fatty acid chains onto the glycerol backbone. BOC Sciences has a team of experienced scientists with extensive expertise in enzymatic lipid synthesis. Our in-depth knowledge of lipid chemistry and enzymatic reactions ensures efficient and successful lipid synthesis. In addition, BOC Sciences' enzymatic lipid synthesis service is highly scalable and can produce various quantities of lipids. Whether customers require small research quantities or larger quantities for industrial applications, we have you covered.
Lipid Biosynthesis
Lipid biosynthesis can occur in different cellular compartments, including the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mitochondria. This process involves a variety of enzymatic reactions and is regulated by a variety of factors. BOC Sciences offers custom lipid biosynthesis services to meet the specific needs of researchers. Our high-quality lipid products, such as fatty acids, phospholipids, sphingolipids and sterols, can be synthesized to the required specifications. We are committed to offering competitive pricing and flexible options to suit different research budgets.
Lipid Modification Services
The primary goal of lipid modification technology is to enhance the functional properties of lipids, such as stability, solubility, and bioavailability. Lipid modification techniques can include processes such as hydrogenation, transesterification, fractionation, and enzymatic modification. BOC Sciences' lipid modification technology is applicable to a wide variety of drugs and therapeutics. It can be used with small molecules, peptides, proteins and nucleic acids, making it a versatile drug delivery platform. We can tailor lipid modifications to meet specific drug delivery requirements, including tailoring the lipid composition, size and surface properties of lipid carriers to optimize drug delivery for different applications. Our lipid modification technology has the advantages of enhanced drug delivery, improved drug efficacy, improved drug safety, extended drug half-life, multifunctionality, scalability and customization.
