IUPAC/Chemical Name:
Heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)(6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy)hexyl)amino)octanoate,
1-Octylnonyl 8-[(2-hydroxyethyl)[6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy)hexyl]amino]octanoate,
RNP-IL-001.
Basic Information:
RNP-IL-001 is a synthetic ionizable lipid that is used in combination with other lipids to form lipid nanoparticles (LNP) for drug delivery, with a particular focus on mRNA-based vaccines. These LNPs are essential for efficient drug delivery, as they help to protect the mRNA molecules and transport them directly to the targeted cells. RNP-IL-001 and other lipids work together to stabilize the LNPs, ensuring that the drugs are efficiently delivered to the cells, triggering an immune response against the virus.
