Product overview

Description & Application

THOR 76​​ is an ionizable lipid developed for lung-targeted mRNA delivery, synthesized via a high-throughput Ugi four-component reaction (U4CR). It combines spermine (N3, amine core), oleyl aldehyde (A2), oleic acid (C2), and a morpholine-functionalized isonitrile (D3). Remarkably, its ​​crude reaction mixture​​ outperforms purified forms in efficacy, suggesting synergistic impurities or intermediates enhance function. Formulated into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with cholesterol, DOPE, and PEG-lipid, THOR 76 LNPs exhibit ​​exceptional lung tropism​​ with secondary spleen affinity after intravenous administration. They efficiently transfect ​​pulmonary endothelial cells​​, enabling robust gene expression (e.g., Cre recombinase) and significant CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing (1.22% at 0.1 mg/kg dose) in the lungs. With a particle size <150 nm, positive zeta potential, and >90% mRNA encapsulation, THOR 76 achieves targeted delivery while minimizing off-target effects in the liver. Its design overcomes limitations of cationic helper lipids, offering a potent, tolerable platform for treating pulmonary genetic disorders and cancers.

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.
