Product overview

Description & Application

GVS-18-B34 is a highly potent, silicon ether-based ionizable lipid that enables efficient mRNA delivery via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). Its key advantage lies in a biodegradable silyl ether linkage, which undergoes rapid, non-enzymatic hydrolysis, leading to near-complete clearance from the liver within 24 hours in both mice and non-human primates (NHPs). This degradation mechanism is species-agnostic, overcoming the variability associated with esterase-dependent lipids. In vivo, GVS-18-B34 LNPs demonstrated superior liver-specific protein expression and a high liver-to-spleen signal ratio, indicating minimal off-target accumulation and reduced immune stimulation compared to benchmarks like MC3 and SM-102. The LNPs exhibited excellent stability when stored frozen at -80°C, maintaining integrity over multiple freeze-thaw cycles. With its optimal pKa (~6.3) and efficient endosomal escape profile, GVS-18-B34 represents a promising candidate for therapeutic applications requiring frequent dosing, combining high potency with a favorable safety profile derived from its rapid clearance.

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.
