Lipid CY7
Instructions for Use
Product information
CY7 is an ionizable lipid engineered for localized pulmonary mRNA delivery. Its structure combines a cyclohexane-based core, a 4-dimethylaminopiperidine ionizable headgroup, two ester linkers, and four extended hydrophobic branches. In LNPs formulated with cholesterol, DSPC, and DMG-PEG, CY7 produced substantially higher local luciferase expression and lung-to-liver selectivity than SM-102 following intratracheal administration. CY7 LNPs also enhanced functional mRNA expression in pulmonary neutrophils, endothelial and epithelial cells, as well as dendritic and B cells in lung-draining lymph nodes. When used to deliver PcrV and OprF-I mRNAs, pulmonary CY7 LNP vaccination generated rapid antigen-independent innate protection followed by durable antigen-specific humoral, mucosal, and cellular immunity. In mouse models, it reduced bacterial burden and improved survival following challenge with laboratory and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. CY7 remains a preclinical research lipid requiring further pharmacokinetic, repeat-dose, and translational safety evaluation.

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.
