E4i-200
Instructions for Use
Product information
E4i-200 is a branched ionizable lipid designed for efficient mRNA and CRISPR-Cas9 delivery. It features a 4-carbon (C4) lipid tail with an isopropyl (i) branch at the terminal position, enhancing its ability to disrupt endosomal membranes. The lipid is built around the 200 core, a polyamine structure (N1-(2-(4-(2-aminoethyl)piperazin-1-yl)ethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine), which facilitates mRNA encapsulation and delivery. E4i-200 excels in liver-targeted delivery, significantly improving mRNA translation and gene editing efficiency in vivo. In experiments, it outperformed linear lipids, achieving 1.5-fold higher liver luminescence compared to the gold standard C12-200. Its isopropyl branch promotes deeper membrane penetration, enhancing endosomal escape and cargo release. This lipid is particularly effective for hepatic gene editing, reducing target gene expression (e.g., TTR) by up to 90% in mouse models. Its modular design and low toxicity make it a promising candidate for mRNA-based therapies and CRISPR applications in the liver.

Provided that storage conditions are as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 1 year.
Wherever possible, prepare and use solutions on the same day. If stock solutions must be prepared in advance, store them as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be usable for up to one month.
Before use, and prior to opening the vial, allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
