DODAP (CAS: 127512‑29‑2, full name 1,2-dioleoyl-3-dimethylammonium-propane) is a cationic lipid widely used in biochemistry and drug delivery. Its main functions are:

  1. Gene Delivery Carrier

    • DODAP can be used to prepare liposomes or nanoparticles for delivering DNA, siRNA, or mRNA into cells.

    • It forms cationic lipid–nucleic acid complexes (lipoplexes) by binding with negatively charged nucleic acids, protecting them and facilitating cellular uptake.

  2. pH-Sensitive Lipid

    • DODAP is mostly neutral at physiological pH, reducing toxicity.

    • In acidic environments (such as endosomes), it becomes positively charged, helping disrupt the endosomal membrane and release nucleic acids into the cytoplasm.

    • This property makes it highly useful in mRNA vaccines and gene therapy.

  3. Drug Delivery Aid

    • DODAP can be combined with other lipids (e.g., DSPC, cholesterol, PEG-lipid) to form stable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for delivering small molecule drugs or nucleic acid therapeutics.

In short, DODAP primarily acts as a cationic lipid carrier for nucleic acids, widely applied in gene therapy, mRNA vaccines, and lipid nanoparticle-based drug delivery.
