| Targets |
Phosphatidylserine does not have a single defined pharmacological target. It is an endogenous phospholipid that plays a crucial role in cell membrane structure and function. It is involved in cell signaling pathways, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and the release of neurotransmitters. Its levels and location within the brain can affect important signaling pathways for cell survival and communication. It also has a protective effect on brain cells.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
Phosphatidylserine is not evaluated for direct pharmacological activity in conventional cell-based assays. Its primary function is as a structural component of cell membranes and a modulator of cellular processes. In vitro studies focus on its role in membrane biology, apoptosis signaling (where its externalization on the cell surface serves as an "eat-me" signal for phagocytes), and neurotransmitter release. It is also used as a supplement in cell culture media to support cell growth and function.
|
| ln Vivo |
Phosphatidylserine is used as a nutritional supplement to support cognitive function, memory, and brain health. It has been studied for its potential benefits in age-related cognitive decline, stress reduction, and improving exercise performance. As an endogenous compound, it is well-tolerated and has a long history of use as a dietary supplement. Its protective effects on brain cells contribute to its role in keeping the mind and memory sharp.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
Phosphatidylserine does not have established receptor binding or enzyme inhibition assay protocols, as it is a nutritional supplement and endogenous phospholipid rather than a pharmacologically active drug. Its identity and purity are confirmed by standard analytical methods including HPLC and mass spectrometry. Physical properties: molecular weight 792.1 g/mol; molecular formula C42H82NO10P. No specific biochemical assay protocols are applicable for this compound.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular studies with Phosphatidylserine focus on its role in membrane biology and apoptosis. In apoptotic cells, phosphatidylserine is externalized to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, where it serves as a signal for phagocytic clearance. This property is exploited in Annexin V staining assays to detect apoptosis. Phosphatidylserine is also used as a supplement in cell culture media to support cell growth and function. No specific pharmacological activity is evaluated in these studies.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies with Phosphatidylserine are conducted as part of nutritional supplementation research. Animal models are used to evaluate its effects on cognitive function, memory, and stress response. The compound is administered orally at doses corresponding to human supplementation levels. Behavioral assessments include tests of learning and memory (Morris water maze, novel object recognition). Brain tissue is collected for neurochemical analysis. Sample sizes typically range from 8-12 animals per group. Clinical studies have been conducted for cognitive enhancement and age-related cognitive decline.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Phosphatidylserine has a molecular weight of 792.1 g/mol and a molecular formula of C42H82NO10P. It is a phospholipid in which the polar serine is linked to diacylglycerol via a phosphate ester bond. Synonyms: Serine phospholipids; Diacylglyceryl phosphate serine; PS. As a dietary supplement, it is orally administered and absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It is incorporated into cell membranes and metabolized via normal phospholipid turnover pathways.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Phosphatidylserine is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use as a dietary supplement. It is well-tolerated at recommended doses. Common adverse effects are rare and may include mild gastrointestinal upset. As an endogenous compound, it has a very favorable safety profile. It has been extensively studied in clinical trials for cognitive enhancement and age-related cognitive decline. No significant toxicity has been identified at supplementation levels.

| Additional Infomation |
1,2-Distearayoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphatidylserine is a 3-sn-phosphatidyl-L-serine in which both the phosphatidyl acyl groups at positions 1 and 2 are stearoyl groups. It is a mouse metabolite functionally related to octadecanoic acid. PS (18:0/18:0) is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli (K12 strain, MG1655 strain). Phosphatidylserine has also been reported in grapes (Vitis vinifera), with relevant data available. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid in which the polar serine is linked to diacylglycerol via a phosphate ester bond. It is a phosphatidic acid derivative in which the phosphate group is partially bound to the serine group via an ester bond.
Phosphatidylserine is also known as Serine phospholipids; Diacylglyceryl phosphate serine; PS; 1,2-Distearoyl phosphatidyl serine; Distearoylphosphatidylserine. It is abundant in the brain and protects cells. It is used as a brain-boosting supplement to support memory and cognitive function. It is available as a nutritional supplement in various formulations. No regulatory approvals as a drug have been reported; it is marketed as a dietary supplement. |
