DPPE-PEG2000-MPG
DPPE-PEG2000-MPG (DPPE-PEG2000-Mal-Cys-MPG) is a functionalized PEGylated phospholipid conjugate composed of three modular components: 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate ethanolamine (DPPE) as a lipid anchoring group, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm with a molecular weight of 2000 Da, and an MPG (HY-P4076A) peptide as a terminal targeting/functional ligand. DPPE-PEG2000-MPG can be used for intracellular drug delivery, nucleic acid (DNA/siRNA) delivery, and intracellular transport of macromolecular drugs.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
DPPE-PEG2000-MPG is composed of three covalently linked components: 1. DPPE (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphoethanolamine): Lipid anchoring group-inserts into the lipid bilayer of liposomes/LNPs, providing stable membrane anchoring; its saturated C16 chain imparts bilayer rigidity. 2. PEG 2000 (polyethylene glycol, molecular weight 2000): Hydrophilic polymer spacer arm-forms a steric hindrance crown around nanoparticles, reducing opsonin activity and reticuloendothelial system (RES) clearance, prolonging circulating half-life, and providing steric separation between the lipid surface and the targeting ligand. 3. MPG peptide: Targeting/functional ligand-MPG peptide is a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) that interacts with the cell membrane and mediates the entry of biomolecules or drug carriers into cells, effectively improving intracellular delivery efficiency.

RNA interference technology
RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that inhibits gene expression by suppressing gene transcription or activating RNA degradation. This mechanism was discovered in plants in 1998 by Andrew Fire and Craig Mello. Today, this phenomenon can be observed in almost all eukaryotes, including protozoa, flies, nematodes, insects, parasites, and mammals.
