General description

DC-Cholesterol/Dioleoyl Phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) lipid complex comprises the cationic lipid DC-Cholesterol and the neutral helper lipid DOPE.

Application

DC-Chol/DOPE Blend has been used:
  • in the preparation of liposomes for ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1) siRNA (small interference RNA) transfection studies
  • to compare its cytotoxicity tests with ginger derived nanoparticles in colon-26 cells
  • as a standard control in MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay to evaluate biocompatibility of ginger derived lipid vesicles

Biochem/physiol Actions

DC-Cholesterol/Dioleoyl Phosphatidylethanolamine (30:70, w/w) helps in transfection of therapeutic small interference RNA (siRNA). DC-Chol/DOPE liposomes are cationic, unilamellar and spherical in nature. It aids in improved condensation of DNA for transfection studies.
