Patent ID: 7906674

Claim:
An oxidized phospholipid having one of the general formulas I or II Wherein A═O, C, NH, or S; B═O, C, NH, or S; and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of —CO—(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 ; —CO—(CH 2 ) n —CHO; and —CO—(CH 2 ) n —COOH, with n=3-7, with the proviso that in general formula I, R 1 is selected from the group consisting of —CH 2 —(CH 2 ) n —X; and —CO—(CH 2 ) n —X with n=5-11, wherein X is a fluorophore; and in general formula II, R 1 is selected from the group consisting of —CH═CH—(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 with n=9-15; —(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 with n=11-17; and —CO—(CH 2 ) n —CH 3 with n=10-16; and R 3 is selected from the group consisting of —CO—(CH 2 ) n —X; and —SO 2 —(CH 2 ) n —X, with n=0-5, wherein X is a fluorophore.
