Product overview

Description & Application

AP60 is a novel, biomimetic ionizable lipid, identified as the lead compound from a library of 67 aminophosphonate-derived lipids. Inspired by the structure of natural phospholipids, it forms the core component of lipid nanoparticles within the CROSS delivery platform. AP60-based LNPs demonstrate superior efficiency in delivering mRNA and circular RNA to neuronal cells and astrocytes compared to the clinically used MC3 LNP. In a mouse model of spinal cord injury, AP60 LNPs achieved significantly higher protein expression at the lesion site (13.7-fold locally, 4.6-fold intravenously) while concurrently reducing off-target accumulation in the liver by nearly 5-fold. This indicates improved targeting to the central nervous system injury site and a potentially better safety profile. Its cellular uptake is primarily mediated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis, followed by efficient endosomal escape. By encapsulating therapeutic circular RNAs encoding Sox2, Ascl1, and GDNF, AP60 LNPs enable effective in vivo reprogramming and neuroprotection, leading to significant functional recovery of bladder and locomotor functions after spinal cord injury.

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.
