Phospholipids are essential structural components of all cell membranes, consisting of a hydrophilic phosphate-containing head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails linked via an alcohol residue. Beyond their biological roles, purified phospholipids have applications in nanotechnology and materials science. Oxidized phospholipids, including derivatives such as POVPC and PGPC, are biologically active molecules implicated in cardiovascular disease and inflammatory processes.
