Ionizable lipid for LNP and nucleic-acid delivery research.
Components are supplied separately; this is not a premixed LNP. RNA/cargo, buffer and formulation service are not included.
MK16 is an MK-0752-derived ionizable lipid developed for blood-brain-barrier-crossing mRNA delivery in preclinical mouse models. In the cited MK16 BLNP formulation, the authors reported an apparent LNP pKa of 6.86, a particle diameter of 137.0 ± 4.1 nm, 84.8 ± 1.5% mRNA encapsulation, and brain FLuc expression 8.3-fold above an MC3 LNP comparator after intravenous administration. The study also reported mRNA expression in neurons, astrocytes, brain capillary endothelial cells and microglia, as well as proof-of-concept results in cocaine-conditioned-place-preference and orthotopic glioblastoma models. All formulation and performance information shown below is literature-derived study evidence, not a product specification or a guarantee of reproducible LNP performance.
