Product overview

Description & Application

AMG514 is a spirocyclic diamine ionizable lipid developed for spleen-biased mRNA delivery. In the cited mouse experiments, AMG514 LNPs produced approximately four-fold higher splenic reporter expression than a cKK-E12 comparator, transfected splenic dendritic cells and macrophages, and were evaluated for co-delivery of antigen and immune-remodeling mRNAs. The authors associated its approximately 7.5 apparent LNP pKa and serum- or plasma-derived protein-corona profile with the observed biodistribution, but did not establish a single causal targeting mechanism. All formulation and performance information shown below is literature-derived study evidence, not a product specification or a guarantee of reproducible LNP performance.

Additional reported findings

Splenic antigen-presenting-cell transfection

In the Ai14/Cre reporter experiment, the plotted fractions were approximately 67% versus 40% tdTomato-positive dendritic cells and approximately 60% versus 40% tdTomato-positive macrophages for AMG514 versus cKK-E12.

Antigen-specific CD8 T-cell response

AMG514-formulated NIK plus OVA generated approximately 15% OVA-tetramer-positive CD8 T cells after boosting, compared with approximately 6% for the cKK-E12 formulation.

B16-OVA tumor challenge

AMG514 NIK plus OVA produced complete rejection in five of five mice, compared with three of five for cKK-E12 NIK plus OVA and one of five for AMG514 OVA alone. The authors state that the AMG514 advantage over cKK-E12 was not statistically significant.

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.
