IUPAC name: (1,1-dimethylpiperidin-1-ium-4-yl) octadecyl phosphate

ChEBI definition: A phospholipid consisting of 1,1-dimethylpiperidinium-4-yl hydrogen phosphate in which the hydrogen is replaced by a stearyl (octadecyl) group.

Pharmacological roles (ChEBI): EC 2.7.1.137 (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase) inhibitor.

Also known as: AEZS-104, KRX-0401, NSC-639966, Perifosina, Perifosine, Alkylphospholipid analogue, SID499931, SID144206916, perifosine, SID174006514, SID225144339, PERIFOSINE

Patent coverage: 3,620 distinct patent families (15,127 SureChEMBL compound mentions), from 1 matched compound structure(s). Mentions count patents naming the compound (not distinct inventions), so promiscuous / reference molecules inflate the mention figure — families are the dedup metric.
