Product overview

Description & Application

L649 is a next-generation, lung-targeting ionizable lipid specifically designed for systemic mRNA delivery developed by Hopewell. Belonging to the novel "N-series" lipid class, it features a unique structure with an amine-containing head group and hydrophobic tails incorporating amide bonds. This design enables L649 to form highly stable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that exhibit exceptional tropism for the lower respiratory tract (lungs, bronchi, trachea) following intravenous administration. It demonstrates superior efficiency in delivering therapeutic payloads (like mRNA) specifically to key lung cell types, including alveolar epithelial cells (AT1 and AT2) and bronchial cells, while minimizing off-target accumulation in organs like the liver. L649-based LNPs, particularly when formulated with helper lipids like POPE, combine high potency with significantly improved tolerability, allowing for effective dosing in vivo. This makes L649 a promising candidate for developing treatments for various lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, COPD, lung cancer, and infectious diseases like COVID-19.​

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.
