Stigmasterol hemisuccinate (STEMS) - 1g

Stigmasterol hemisuccinate (STEMS) is a pH-responsive modified version of stigmasterol, a naturally occuring plant sterol. Stigmasterol is a cholesterol derivative that is growing in the bioprocessing space for its potential to enhance mRNA transfection efficiency. Conjugation to hemiscuccinate has been shown to improve the cellular uptake in acidic microenvironments, such as those around tumors, making it a valuable tool for targeted drug delivery. STEMS is ideal for use in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations aimed at improving delivery effeciency of therapeutics. For research use only.
