Application

Trileucine (Leu-Leu-Leu), an endosome escape moiety, may be used for pH-dependent endosomal membrane disruption to release agents such as antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) inside cells. Trileucine is used to evaluate the absorption characteristics of reversed phase liquid chromatography (HPLC) media.
