mhapc-chol

MHAPC-Chol is a cationic cholesterol. MHAPC-Chol, as part of a lipoplex with DOPE , has been used for siRNA delivery and gene silencing in MCF-7 cells in a luciferase assay without affecting cell viability. It has also been used to deliver siRNA into mice via intravenous injection, resulting in MHAPC-chol accumulation in the liver.

DMHAPC-Chol is a cationic cholesterol. Liposomes containing DMHAPC-chol have been used for DNA plasmid delivery in vitro and in vivo in a B16-F10 mouse xenograft model. Liposomes containing DMHAPC-chol are cytotoxic to B16-F10 cells when used at lipid concentrations greater than 20 μM. DMHAPC-Chol, as part of a lipoplex with DOPE , has also been used to deliver DNA into mouse lung via intratracheal injection, resulting in a heterogeneous distribution in the bronchi and bronchioles, and to deliver VEGF siRNA into A431 and MDA-MB-231 cells, which secrete VEGF.
