5A2-SC8

Product Datasheet

5A2-SC8 is a degradable dendrimer lipid studied for small-RNA delivery and as the ionizable component of later multicomponent mRNA LNPs. Published evidence includes liver siRNA knockdown and formulation-dependent bone-marrow reporter delivery. Bone-marrow tropism in the later study required an additional covalent lipid or crosslinker.
