Peptide Octaarginine (R8)
Delivery Success Class no
In Vivo Flag no
Uptake Confirmed yes
Label Confidence high
In Vitro Functional Effect yes
Endosomal Escape Evidence yes
Peptide Concentration Encoded in formulation (18 mol% STR-R8 of total lipids); applied as nanoparticles
Rna Concentration 25–100 nM (dose-response; 24 h incubation) in primary hepatocytes
Mixing Ratio siRNA complexed with PEI at N/P=1.8; lipid composition STR-R8/DOPE/Cho-GALA = 18/77.5/4.5 (mol%)
Formulation Format R8-modified lipid nanoparticles (lipid envelope over siRNA/PEI core; MEND-like)
Formulation Components siRNA/PEI core (N/P 1.8) coated with lipids: STR-R8, DOPE, Cho-GALA (18:77.5:4.5 mol%)
