General description

The NanoFabTx Photoactivatable Lipid, redAzoPC is a red-light photoswitchable lipid for controlled and targeted drug delivery. The tetra-ortho-chloro-azobenzene of redAzoPC can be isomerized from the cis to the trans conformation at 660 nm light. LNPs prepared using the NanoFabTx Photoactivatable Lipid, redAzoPC result in controlled drug release following deep red light irradiation.

Application

Lipid nanoparticle and liposome drug delivery systems

Features and Benefits

  • Similar drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, size, and polydispersity to non-photoswitchable lipids
  • Light-induced drug delivery
  • Targeted and controlled release
  • Overcomes limitations associated to UV-switchable lipids
