Bioactivity | 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-PC; DSPC) is a cylindrical-shaped lipid. 1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine is used to synthesize liposomes, and is the lipid component in the lipid nanoparticle (LNP) system[1][2]. | |||||||||
Invitro | In empty lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems that do not contain siRNA, DSPC-cholesterol resides in outer layers, whereas in loaded systems a portion of the DSPC-cholesterol is internalised together with siRNA[2]. | |||||||||
