AO12 is a novel antioxidant ionizable lipid derived from SM-102 skeleton with para-hydroxyphenyl propionic acid side chains. Integrated into LNPs, it efficiently scavenges diverse reactive oxygen species including ·OH and ONOO⁻, shielding encapsulated mRNA from oxidative degradation. It retains fine LNP formulation features and cellular uptake capacity of conventional lipids, boosting in vivo mRNA translation. Applied for regenerative mRNA therapy and CRISPR gene editing against fibrosis and inflammatory disorders.

AO12 is the para-hydroxyphenylpropionic-acid derivative in the phenol-derived AO12–16 series.
Compound characterization · Supplementary Information p. 4, Compound AO12; Supplementary Fig. 24.Three independent AO12LNP batches were made using a Micro&Nano microfluidic chip at a reported flow rate of 200 mL/min; the batches retained comparable particle properties and expression in the cited study.
Process demonstration · Main article p. 5; Supplementary Fig. 62.Cell viability remained above 88% at 10 µg/mL in the reported cytotoxicity experiment; hemolysis and healthy-mouse body weight, histology, ALT/AST and inflammatory cytokines were reported as comparable to controls under the tested conditions. These are study-specific observations, not a general safety conclusion.
Safety-related assays · Main article p. 6; Supplementary Figs. 66-73.The product molecular weight is prefilled when available and remains editable. Confirm solvent compatibility and solubility before preparation.
