Lipids (Other) (for DDS) — covers non-standard lipids and lipid-like compounds—including cationic lipids, cholesterol derivatives, and long-chain aliphatic amine conjugates—designed for lipid-based drug delivery system formulations. This group complements the main structural lipids with charged or modified variants for specific formulation needs.
Lipids (Other) for DDS are used in the preparation of liposomes, lipid nanoparticles (LNP), and lipoplex complexes to carry nucleic acids, proteins, or drug molecules into cells in drug delivery system research. Cationic lipids such as DOTAP and guanidine derivatives support electrostatic interactions with the negative charge of genetic material, while cholesterol helps stabilize the bilayer structure of artificial membranes.
Example products in this collection: TCI O0600 23604-21-9 1-Octadecylguanidine Hydrochloride, TCI C0318 57-88-5 Cholesterol (stabilized with alpha-Tocopherol), TCI H1786 1224606-06-7 (6Z,9Z,28Z,31Z)-Heptatriaconta-6,9,28,31-tetraen-19-yl 4-(Dimethylamino)butanoate, TCI C3624 57-88-5 Cholesterol (>99%) (stabilized with alpha-Tocopherol), TCI D6266 127512-29-2 3-(Dimethylamino)propane-1,2-diyl Dioleate, TCI D5953 144189-73-1 DOTAP Methyl Sulfate.
Consider the purity level (for example >99%), whether a stabilizer such as alpha-Tocopherol is included in cholesterol, and the salt form or counter-ion of cationic lipids, as these affect the stability of the lipid nanoparticle formulation. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
