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
