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

Encapsulation of small molecule drugs in long-circulating lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can reduce toxic side effects and enhance accumulation at tumor sites. A fundamental problem, however, is the slow release of encapsulated drugs from these liposomal systems at the disease site

Many aspects of cell signaling are controlled by lipids. Several signaling lipids have been functionalized with an azobenzene photoswitch to control underlying signaling dynamics with light. Herein, we provide an overview of signaling photolipids developed to date focusing on their

Photoswitchable lipids are emerging tools for the precise manipulation and study of lipid function. They can modulate many aspects of membrane biophysics, including permeability, fluidity, lipid mobility and domain formation. They are also very useful in lipid physiology and enable
