Product overview

Description & Application

Iso-A11B5C1 is an ionizable lipid investigated for muscle-selective mRNA delivery after intramuscular administration. In the cited mouse study, its LNP formulation retained local expression while limiting detectable liver and spleen reporter expression relative to the SM-102 comparator.

Formulation & Performance

The optimized muscle-delivery formulation uses a C14 PEG phospholipid. Its results should not be transferred to a formulation in which that component is replaced by DMG-PEG2000.

The results below describe the cited research formulations. Product specifications and commercial pack options are shown in the Specifications and ordering sections.

Optimized molar composition = 60:10:29:1; ionizable lipid:mRNA = 10:1 by weight. The SI identifies 14:0 PEG2000 PE as the PEG lipid. Its exact commercial product mapping and molecular weight are not assigned here. This is not DMG-PEG2000; total mass fractions remain uncalculated until its molecular weight is specified. N/P was not reported.

Intramuscular delivery and off-target expression

StudyConditionsReported outcome
Luciferase mRNAC57BL/6J mice; 0.3 mg/kg IM; 6 h; n = 3Local expression comparable to SM-102; no significant difference reported. Liver/spleen off-target expression was not detected under the assay conditions (Fig. 2).
Cre mRNA reportermTmG mice; 0.5 mg/kg IM; 36 h; n = 3Muscle reporter activation comparable to SM-102; Iso-A11B5C1 activation not detected in liver/spleen (Fig. 4).
SM-102 Cre comparatorSame reporter study83.83% liver and 72.67% spleen reporter activation reported for the comparator. These are reporter readouts, not injected-dose recovery.

Five tissue sections were averaged per mouse in the Cre analysis. Cre-dependent recombination is distinct from CRISPR editing. Undetected expression does not demonstrate zero tissue exposure.

Tumour response and acute tolerability

EndpointReported evidenceLimit
Trp2 mRNA / B16F10 modelDoses administered on days 7 and 12; tumour control exceeded MC3 but was less effective than SM-102Main Fig. 5; do not describe Iso-A11B5C1 as superior across all efficacy endpoints.
Acute cytokinesBALB/c mice, 0.5 mg/kg IM; six cytokines at 4 h showed no discernible difference from PBSSI Fig. S8; one acute time point does not establish systemic or repeat-dose safety.

Handling guidance

Shipping, storage and sampling

How is the lipid shipped, and how should I store it?
We generally ship the neat (undissolved) lipid compound rather than an ethanol solution. The neat lipid is stable during transport with ice packs, and shipments originate from Shanghai. Pure form: store at −20 °C for up to 1 year. In solvent: store at −80 °C for up to 6 months or at −20 °C for up to 1 month. Keep sealed and protected from light. Avoid repeated thaw cycles for best results.
Pure lipid or solution — which should I choose?
Pure lipid is generally more stable during shipping and storage, so we usually recommend the pure form. A solution in ethanol or chloroform can be supplied when required by your workflow. Tell us the intended application, solvent and target concentration so the most suitable format can be confirmed.
How should I measure a small amount of oily or viscous lipid?
Ionizable lipids are often oily liquids or viscous semisolids, so material can be lost during repeated weighing or transfer. For a small pack, dissolve the entire quantity and aliquot it volumetrically. For example, add 1 mL ethanol to 25 mg lipid to prepare a 25 mg/mL stock, then use a pipette to withdraw the required amount. For quantities above 100 mg, direct weighing with an analytical balance may be more practical. Always confirm solvent compatibility and solubility first.
Can you support formulation optimization and scale-up?
Yes. Share the RNA cargo, target tissue, administration route, formulation method and assay plan. Our team can discuss starting molar ratios, N/P ratio and scale-up requirements for research workflows.
