ATX L1
Instructions for Use
Product information
L1 is a biodegradable, branched self-immolative lipid optimized for high-efficiency mRNA delivery. Its disulfide-based architecture enables rapid glutathione-triggered degradation in the cytosol (liver half-life: 4.2 days), promoting rapid clearance while maintaining serum stability. In vivo, L1 achieves exceptional mRNA translation, producing twice the hEPO protein levels of the clinically approved MC3 lipid at 0.1 mg/kg. Its apparent pKa (6.57) facilitates efficient endosomal escape without compromising safety: even at 5 mg/kg, L1 causes no significant body weight loss or sustained inflammation. Structural features (C7 alkyl tails, carbamate linker) balance potency and biodegradability, making L1 ideal for mRNA vaccines and protein-replacement therapies.

Formulation & study context
Literature information refers to the cited study and its particular formulation. Administration routes are research context, not clinical instructions or a guarantee of performance.
A complete product-specific formulation has not been verified. No standard ratio is substituted.

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.
