Pharmacodynamics

DL-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine is a water soluble phospholipid used to solubilize drugs for injection 1.

Mechanism of action

As a phospholipid, DL-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine can form a micelle with a hydrophobic core to contain lipophilic drugs while maintaining a hyrophilic outer portion to allow increased solubility of the drug in the aqueous environment of the blood or gastrointestinal tract 1.
