Description of Lipid 5

Lipid 5 is a new type of amino lipid [1]. Lipid 5 is used to construct mRNA lipid nanoparticles, which have significantly higher delivery efficiency than MC3, faster in vivo clearance and better safety, making it suitable for long-term therapeutic mRNA delivery [2-3].

Protocol of Lipid 5

This protocol describes the formulation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) using Lipid 5 for encapsulation and delivery of mRNA. This method is based on the microfluidic mixing approach. Specific conditions may require optimization depending on mRNA length, lipid batch, and application purpose [1–2].
1. Preparation of Reagents and Materials
Lipid 5 ( purity ≥ 95%), DSPC (1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), Cholesterol, PEG-lipid, mRNA.
2. Experimental Steps
(1) Lipid Stock Solution Preparation
Prepare lipid stock in ethanol at molar ratio of
Lipid 5:DSPC:Cholesterol:PEG-lipid = 50:10:38.5:1.5.
Dissolve each component in ethanol at defined concentrations (e.g., 10-20mM each).
Store at -20℃, protect from light.
(2) mRNA Aqueous Phase Preparation
Dissolve mRNA in 25-50mM sodium acetate buffer (pH = 5).
Final mRNA concentration: 0.2-0.5mg/mL.
Filter with 0.22μm membrane if needed.
(3) Microfluidic Mixing and LNP Assembly
Mix ethanol phase (lipids) and aqueous phase (mRNA) at 3:1 aqueous:ethanol ratio using a microfluidic mixer.
Flow rate: e.g., 12mL/min total flow (adjust as per device spec).
LNPs form spontaneously upon mixing.
(4) Post-processing and Purification
Dialyze product overnight in PBS (pH = 7.4) using dialysis cassette or use Amicon filter to exchange buffer and remove ethanol.
Final formulation should contain <5% ethanol and be in isotonic PBS.
Sterile filter using 0.22μm syringe filter before in vivo use.
Notes and Precautions
(1) Lipid 5 is sensitive to hydrolysis; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
(2) Maintain the pH of aqueous buffer ≤5 during mixing to ensure optimal encapsulation.
(3) Final LNPs should be characterized for size (80-100nm), PDI (<0.2), encapsulation efficiency (>90%), and pKa (~6.5).
(4) Store LNPs at 4℃ and use within 7 days for best activity.
(5) Endotoxin level should be ≤1EU/mL for in vivo applications
