Abstract
Phosphatidylcholine was screened against twelve commercially available metal ion salts. Ce(NH4)2(NO3)6, ZrCl4, and HfCl4 produced higher levels of phosphate ester bond hydrolysis at lysosomal pH (~ 4.8) compared to near neutral, cytoplasmic pH (~ 7.2). The cerium(IV) salt was the most reactive, displaying considerable activity at 60 °C and 37 °C.
