DOTAP mesylate
Based on 23 publication(s) in Google Scholar
DOTAP (1,2-Dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane) mesylate is a cationic lipid reagent, a cationic derivative of trimethylammonium, linked to two 18-carbon fatty acid tails, each with a single olefin group. DOTAP methylsulfat can self-assemble with negatively charged ions (such as DNA) to form complexes, which can be adsorbed to the cell membrane surface and enter the cell by electrostatic interaction and endocytosis, respectively. DOTAP mesylate promotes endosomal membrane fusion with its own hydrophobic domain, releases DNA into the cytoplasm, and exerts gene delivery function. DOTAP mesylate can be widely used in research fields such as gene therapy, cell transfection, and non-viral vector design

Descripciòn
In Vitro
Different mass ratios of DOTAP mesylate (different mass ratios; 4 hours transfection + 24 hours culture) and DOPE (HY-112005) have different optimal transfection efficiencies. In Huh7 and AGS cells, the optimal ratio is T1P0 (1:0)/T3P1 (3:1), and in A549 cells, the optimal ratio is T1P1 (1:1)/T3P1 (1:3), which is independent of liposome size or zeta potential[1].
DOTAP mesylate mixed with lipids in certain ratios (e.g., 1:2, 1:1, 2:1) is more efficient than DOTAP mesylate alone in transfecting DNA, and still maintains transfection activity at 80% serum concentration. And the optimal transfection ratio of DOTAP mesylate to DNA is 12:1[2].
DOTAP mesylate (30 min DNase treatment) DNA-lipid complexes remain stable to DNase I digestion in the presence of serum, and the addition of cholesterol does not affect the structural integrity of the complex[2].
DOTAP mesylate (containing 1% NBD-DOTAP mesylate label; 2 h transfection) in flow cytometric analysis, cholesterol-modified liposomes bind to cells at a significantly higher rate in serum than pure DOTAP methylsulfat liposomes[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
