Description |
Ionizable lipids in combination with other lipids make up the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) which are used to deliver RNA-based therapeutics. LNPs incorporating Lipid 5 (from Sabnis <em>et al.</em>) demonstrated potent delivery of mRNA in primates but also were rapidly cleared from the body resulting in low toxicity. Lipid 5 was better at I.V. delivery to the liver while the closely related SM-102 (cat# <a href="https://www.echelon-inc.com/product/sm-102/">N-1102</a>) was optimized for intramuscular administration. This is a reagent grade product, for research use only. References: 1) <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29653760/">Sabnis S, Kumarasinghe ES, Salerno T, et al.
