N1-Methylpseudouridine is a modified nucleoside used for enhancing mRNA translation. Incorporation of N1-Methylpseudouridine into mRNA turns off the immune/eIF2α phosphorylation-dependent inhibition of translation, and increases ribosome pausing and density on the mRNA, thus dramatically facilitating the translation process. N1-Methylpseudouridine outperforms several other modified nucleosides (e.g. 5-Methylcytidine) and corresponding combinations in terms of translation capacity.

General tips
We do not recommend long-term storage for the solution, please use it up soon.
Protocol
Cell experiment:[2]
Cell lines
Various mammalian cells including A549, BJ, C2C12, HeLa and primary keratinocytes
Reaction Conditions
24 h incubation
Applications
In various mammalian cells, mRNAs in the N1-Methylpseudouridine + 5-Methylcytidine group showed reduced cytotoxicity compared to the Pseudouridine + 5-Methylcytidine group. The mRNAs simultaneously modified by N1-Methylpseudouridine and 5-Methylcytidine also exhibited reduced activation of the intracellular innate immune response.
Animal experiment:[2]
Animal models
7-week-old Balb/c mice
Dosage form
20 μg
Once daily through intradermal or intramuscular routes by lipofection, for 21 days
Applications
N1-Methylpseudouridine alone and its combination with 5-Methylcytidine outperformed the current state-of-the-art Pseudouridine and its combination with 5-Methylcytidine, in terms of translation capacity.
