Phosphatidylcholines

Phospholipids and their role in the body. Biochemistry of phospholipids cholinephoschoid fraction **Phospholipids (according to Lieberman)** - biological surfactants (heteropolyelectrolytes) having hydrophobic “tails”, ionized (negative) charges in a polar environment and performing various biological functions as **membrane carriers of biochemical processes cell vital activity**.

In bioinorganic chemistry, phospholipids are spoken of not only as biocatalysts, but also as adsorbents, detergents, and drugs. For example, the widely used drug with a phospholipid structure, eniascin, is predominantly lipoic in its mechanism of action.
