Cyclic Phosphatidic Acid (CyPA®)
1 Characteristic
● Cyclic phosphatidic acid (CyPA®) was isolated from the culture medium of slime mold (Physarum polycephalum) as the novel lysophospholipid with quite unique structure by Prof. Murofushi in 1985 (1). Later, it was also found in body fluid like serum and tear (2). Recently, we found various functions of CyPA® positive for skin treatment.
We licensed in its enzymatic process of manufacturing from Prof. Murofushi, and started providing CyPA®. We are now expanding its applications for cosmetics.
