Phospholipid for pharmaceutical purposes

Medicinal phospholipids have a wide range of applications in the field of medicine.

Phospholipids, especially soybean phospholipids, are known as "vascular scavengers" for their ability to regulate cholesterol and lipid metabolism in the body. They have significant effects on treating cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia. Long-term intake of egg phospholipids can slow down the decline in memory and prevent or delay the onset of dementia.

Phospholipids not only prevent fatty liver but also promote liver cell regeneration, aiding in the recovery of liver function. Therefore, phospholipids play an important role in the treatment of liver disorders such as hepatic dysfunction and fatty liver.

Phospholipids are precursors to active substances such as acetylcholine and prostaglandins in the brain and nervous system. They play a key role in promoting the growth and development of the brain's nervous system and brain volume. Adequate supplementation of egg phospholipids is crucial for promoting healthy fetal brain cell development in pregnant women.

Phospholipids, especially saturated phospholipids such as dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), are the main components of pulmonary surfactants. They are biocompatible, biodegradable, and widely used in pulmonary drug delivery systems for respiratory diseases such as respiratory distress syndrome, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Additionally, phospholipids are widely used in the manufacture of drugs for treating gallstones, diabetes, constipation, hemorrhoids, tuberculosis, and in promoting skin metabolism, preventing pigmentation, and treating acne. In the feed industry, phospholipids serve as nutritional additives for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture, promoting the development of nerve tissue, organs, bone marrow, and brain in animals.

While phospholipids have broad applications in medicine, specific usage methods and dosages should be determined based on medical advice to ensure safety and efficacy. Phospholipids also find extensive applications in other fields such as textiles, rubber, plastics, leather, dyes, paints, petrochemicals, and pesticides, tailored to specific needs.
