2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (CAT: M007194) is a zwitterionic monomer structurally designed to mimic the phosphorylcholine headgroup found in cell membranes. It is widely used in biomaterials, hydrogel design, and surface modification due to its outstanding biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and anti-fouling properties. MPC is polymerized to create materials that resist protein adsorption, bacterial adhesion, and thrombosis, making it ideal for medical devices, contact lenses, and drug delivery systems. Its methacrylate functionality allows for copolymerization with a range of vinyl monomers, enabling tailored surface and bulk properties. MPC is a cornerstone in the development of next-generation bioinert and bioactive materials.
