N-butyl Lithocholic Acid
This research-grade small molecule, N-butyl Lithocholic acid, is a derivative of lithocholic acid. When formulated into lipid nanoparticles for mRNA vaccine delivery, such as those encoding hemagglutinin, it demonstrates a reduced toxicity profile in mouse models compared to cholesterol-containing LNPs, showing lower cardiotoxicity and hepatosplenic effects. This makes it a valuable tool for investigating safer lipid nanoparticle systems in vaccinology and gene delivery research.
