4A3-SCC-10
Instructions for Use
Product information
4A3-SCC-10 is a disulfide bond-containing biodegradable ionizable cationic lipid (pKa = 6.22) that has been used in the generation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the delivery of mRNA in vitro and in vivo. LNPs containing 4A3-SCC-10 and encapsulating a Cy5-RNA reporter have improved endosomal escape ability over Cy5-RNA-encapsulated LNPs containing 4A3-SC-10, which does not contain disulfide bonds, in HeLa cells. Intravenous administration of LNPs containing 4A3-SCC-10 and encapsulating an mRNA luciferase reporter selectively accumulate in mouse liver.

N/P is the molar ratio of specified lipid nitrogen groups to nucleic-acid phosphate groups. A lipid:cargo mass ratio is a different quantity and must not be used as N/P.
Stock-solution preparation table
Calculated from the product-page molecular weight: 1948.18 g/mol. Volumes are final solution volumes.
Calculated average MW: 1948.18 g/mol for C91H171N3O16S12. Connectivity reconstructed from SI Schemes S6/S7. Fig.S31 lists calculated/found [M+H]+ values differing by about 2 Da; these MS values are not used as average MW.

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.
