Application

NanoFabTx™ Synthetic Folate Lipid Mix is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid mixture for the synthesis of folate-functionalized liposomes. This lipid mix enables users to encapsulate a wide variety of therapeutic drug molecules for targeted drug delivery applications without the need for lengthy trial-and-error optimization.
The NanoFabTx™ Synthetic Folate Lipid mix includes a lyophilized lipid blend containing rationally selected lipids that has been optimized to synthesize folate-functionalized liposomes of a desired size range. The synthesized folate-functionalized liposomes enable selectively targeting cells which overexpressed folate-receptors (e.g., HeLa cells) and delivery both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.

Features and Benefits

  • A ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid blend for the synthesis of folate-functionalized liposomes
  • Step-by-step extrusion and microfluidics protocols developed and tested by our formulation scientists
  • Flexible synthesis methods to create uniform and reproducible liposomes
  • Protocols and lipid blend optimized to synthesize liposomes around 100 nm with low polydispersity
  • Lipid mix optimized for folate-functionalized liposomes for small molecule encapsulation
Comprehensive protocols for liposome synthesis are included:

  • A lipid film hydration and extrusion protocol
  • A microfluidics protocol using commercial platforms or syringe pumps
The microfluidics protocol included with this product uses the NanoFabTx™ device kit (911593). These kits come with the microfluidics chips, fittings, and tubing required to get started with microfluidics-based synthesis (compatible microfluidics system or syringe pump required).

To develop an intravesical instillation system for the treatment of bladder cancer, rapamycin (Rap) was encapsulated into liposomes and then homogeneously dispersed throughout a poloxamer 407 (P407)-based hydrogel. Rap-loaded conventional liposomes (R-CL) and folate-modified liposomes (R-FL) were prepared using a

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) facilitate cancer progression by promoting tumor invasion, angiogenesis, metastasis, inflammatory responses, and immunosuppression. Folate receptor β (FRβ) is overexpressed in TAMs. However, the clinical significance of FRβ-positive macrophages in lung cancer remains poorly understood. In this study
