DODAP
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
DODAP is a cationic lipid utilized as the lipid component in liposomes (pKa = 5.59 in TNS binding tests). DODAP is employed for encapsulating siRNA and delivering immunostimulated chemotherapeutic agents both in vitro and in vivo. DODAP holds great promise for research in vaccines and inflammation.

Bio/Physico-chemical Assay
Biological Activity
DODAP (0.25-2 ng/µL, 24 h) has the ability to target the spleen[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:HEK293 cells
-
Concentration:0.25 ng/µL, 0.5 ng/µL, 1 ng/µL, 2 ng/µL
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Had almost undetectable expression consistent with a TNS binding assay pKa of 5.62, although expression with this pKa has been observed in DODAP targeting the spleen. DODAP also showed heterogeneous ultrastructural features that were expected to reduce potency.

Animal Model:female Balb/c mice[1]
-
Dosage:100 µg/mL
-
Administration:Intravenous injection (i.v.), Intramuscular injection (i.m.),4 h
-
Result:Treatment resulted that a less negatively charged DODAP was more efficient in vitro and in vivo intramuscular injection, while for Intravenous injection administration, a more negative DODAP that was passively targeted through Apo-E absorption was more efficient for hepatocyte targeting.

Solvent & Solubility
Ethanol : ≥ 100 mg/mL (154.31 mM)
DMSO : 100 mg/mL (154.31 mM; Need ultrasonic; Hygroscopic DMSO has a significant impact on the solubility of product, please use newly opened DMSO)
* "≥" means soluble, but saturation unknown.
Please refer to the solubility information to select the appropriate solvent. Once prepared, please aliquot and store the solution to prevent product inactivation from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Storage method and period of stock solution: -80°C, 6 months; -20°C, 1 month. When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months. When stored at -20°C, please use it within 1 month.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.86 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (3.86 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic
This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
