4,7,10,13-Tetraazahexadecanediamide, N1,N16-didodecyl-4,7,13-tris[3-(dodecylamino)-3-oxopropyl]-

Description

98N12-5 is an ionizable cationic lipid.¹ It has been used in combination with other lipids in the generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). LNPs containing 98N12-5 and encapsulating proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) siRNA selectively accumulate in the liver and reduce total serum cholesterol levels in mice and rats and serum LDL levels in cynomolgus monkeys.²

Uses

98N12-5 is a novel multi-tail ionizable lipids that has been used for efficient in vivo siRNA-delivery to the liver.
