In the current study, 10% zinc substituted hydroxyapatite coating was formed on titanium surface and subsequently phosphatidylethanolamine was incorporated into the coating to study the osteogenic and antibacterial behavior of the coated surface. X-ray diffraction analysis showed the formation of zinc substituted hydroxyapatite on titanium while energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry substantiated the coating to be calcium deficient. Phosphatidylethanolamine incorporated coating on titanium showed higher cell viability and antibacterial property as compared to the control. The superior cell activities on this surface may be attributed to the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine in the coating. Keywords: Phosphatidylethanolamine, Zinc, Hydroxyapatite, Titanium
