CLinDMA, a cationic lipid, can cause inflammatory response. CLinDMA can be used for the synthesis LNP201. LNP201 is a liposome assembly for systemic delivery of siRNA[1].
LNP201 causes sustained silencing of the murine Ssb gene in the mouse liver after single or multiple doses through an RNAi mechanism. LNP201 causes an acute inflammatory response, inducing expression of numerous genes involved in innate immunity as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in tissues[1].
