Application

Dioctadecylamine (DODA) is suitable reagent used in the synthesis of the following:
  • Dioctadecylamine-BCN (bicyclo[6.1.0]nonyne) conjugate.
  • Lipid derivatives of bisethylnorspermine (BSP).
  • Functional VP (N-vinylpyrrolidone ) polymers.
It may be used in the following studies:
  • As a reactant in the synthesis of 4,4′-azobis(4-cyano-N,N-dioctadecyl)pentanamide (DODA-501) by reacting with disuccinimidyl 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanovalerate).
  • As a reagent in the synthesis of dioctadecyl heptapeptides.
  • As a phase transfer and stabilizer agent for gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in non-polar solvent.

General description

Dioctadecylamine (DODA), a secondary amine, is a fatty amine derivative. Its biodegradation potential has been assessed. It has been observed that in aqueous medium DODA self organizes into plate like structures. Its partial charge distribution as a function of its conformation has been analyzed. The phase diagram of dioctadecylamine Langmuir monolayers has been determined and investigations show it does not form a monolayer above pH 3.9. DODA has been utilized in forming liposomes, cationic lipids or lipid chelating agents.

Betalain pigments are unique to the Caryophyllales and structurally and biosynthetically distinct from anthocyanins. Two key enzymes within the betalain synthesis pathway have been identified: 4,5-dioxygenase (DODA) that catalyzes the formation of betalamic acid and CYP76AD1, a cytochrome P450 gene

Heptapeptides having dioctadecyl, N-terminal hydrocarbon chains insert in phospholipid bilayer membranes and form pores through which at least chloride ions pass. Although amphiphilic, these compounds do not typically form vesicles themselves. They insert in the bilayers of phospholipid vesicles and
