Product description

Product overview Description & Application AA-T3A-C12 is a leading anisamide-tethered lipidoid (AA-lipidoid) identified through a combinatorial library screening for targeted RNA delivery to activated fibroblasts, offering a promising approach to treat liver fibrosis.AA-T3A-C12 is a leading anisamide-tethered lipidoid (AA-lipidoid) identified through a combinatorial library screening for targeted RNA delivery to activated fibroblasts, offering a promising approach to treat liver fibrosis. Its structure combines anisamide—a ligand for sigma receptors overexpressed on activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs)—with a T3A polyamine core and C12 epoxide tails, enabling efficient siRNA encapsulation in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). In vitro, AA-T3A-C12 LNPs exhibit enhanced cellular uptake and gene silencing in activated fibroblasts, dependent on sigma receptor binding, as confirmed by haloperidol blockade studies, and outperform non-targeted analogs and the FDA-approved MC3 LNPs in fibroblast selectivity.In a mouse model of CCl4-induced liver fibrosis, AA-T3A-C12/siHSP47 LNP achieves approximately 65% knockdown of heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), a key fibrotic target, leading to significant reduction in collagen deposition and fibrosis alleviation, with a good safety profile and no exacerbation of liver injury.

Handling guidance

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.
