mono-Pal-MTO
mono-Pal-MTO is a palm oil-based lipid produced by combining the anticancer agent mitoxantrone (MTO) with palmitoleic acid. When nanoparticles of mono-Pal-MTO and di-Pal-MTO are combined in a molar ratio of 1:1, they show effective siRNA cell delivery and enhance anticancer activity.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Delivery of Mcl-1-specific anticancer siRNA (siMcl-1) using nanoparticles of mono-Pal-MTO and di-Pal-MTO (md11-Pal-MTO) in a 1:1 molar ratio enhances in vitro antitumour activity, reducing tumour cell viability by 81% and tumour size by 83%. Lipofectamine 2000-mediated transfection with siMcl-1 reduces tumour cell viability by 68%[1].

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.
