Product Description
(S)-C12-200 is the (S)-isomer of C12-200, an ionizable cationic lipid and helper lipid. (S)-C12-200 can be used for the construction of lipid nanoparticles and mRNA delivery.
(S)-C12-200 is an ionizable cationic lipid with molecular formula C70H145N5O5 and molecular weight of approximately 1136.93 Da, representing the (S)-enantiomer of C12-200. This compound remains neutral at physiological pH 7.4 but becomes protonated and positively charged under acidic endosomal conditions (pH 5.0-6.0), a property that makes it a core component of lipid nanoparticle technology primarily for mRNA drug delivery research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(S)-C12-200 does not act through binding to specific biological targets; rather, its “target” is the intracellular endosomal compartment. As an ionizable cationic lipid, its mechanism is physicochemical: it remains neutral in circulation to reduce non-specific interactions; upon cellular uptake, it becomes protonated and positively charged in the acidic endosome, where it interacts electrostatically with negatively charged endosomal membranes, disrupting membrane integrity and facilitating nucleic acid escape into the cytoplasm.
ln Vitro
As a component of lipid nanoparticles, the in vitro function of (S)-C12-200 primarily manifests in mRNA encapsulation and delivery efficiency. Studies show that (S)-C12-200 exhibits higher mRNA delivery efficiency in vitro compared to the racemic C12-200. This lipid has a pKa value of 7.12, a property that determines its protonation capability under acidic pH and endosomal escape efficiency. LNPs containing (S)-C12-200 encapsulating Cre recombinase mRNA efficiently induced tdTomato expression in hepatocytes, endothelial cells, and Kupffer cells in Ai14 reporter mice.
ln Vivo
In the Ai14 reporter mouse model, (S)-C12-200 demonstrates superior mRNA delivery efficiency to the liver compared to its chiral counterpart. Following intravenous administration of LNPs containing (S)-C12-200 encapsulating Cre mRNA, the percentage of tdTomato+ cells (reporter gene-expressing cells) in the liver was significantly higher than that observed with (R)-C12-200-containing LNPs. This result indicates that (S)-C12-200 offers a significant stereoselective advantage for liver-targeted delivery, supporting the concept that substituting racemic ionizable lipids with stereopure lipids can optimize mRNA delivery efficiency. This study was published in the Journal of Controlled Release in 2023.
Enzyme Assay
(S)-C12-200 is not involved in traditional enzyme or receptor binding assays; its cell-free evaluation focuses on physicochemical characterization. A typical protocol includes: 1) Dissolve (S)-C12-200 in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a stock solution (e.g., 10 mg/mL); 2) Measure LNP particle size (target 80-120 nm), polydispersity index, and Zeta potential by dynamic light scattering; 3) Determine pKa value (reference: 7.12) by pH titration, monitoring lipid protonation across pH range (4.0-8.0); 4) Measure mRNA encapsulation efficiency using fluorescent dye methods (e.g., RiboGreen); 5) Observe LNP morphology by transmission electron microscopy.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cell assay protocol for (S)-C12-200 is as follows: 1) Seed target cells (e.g., HepG2 hepatoma cells, HEK293T cells, or primary hepatocytes) in culture plates and culture to 70-80% confluence at 37°C with 5% CO₂; 2) Prepare LNPs containing (S)-C12-200 via microfluidic or ethanol injection methods, encapsulating reporter mRNA (e.g., luciferase mRNA or GFP mRNA); 3) Add LNPs at various concentrations (mRNA dose typically 0.1-5 μg/well) to cell culture medium and incubate for 24-48 hours; 4) Detect GFP expression by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry, or quantify by luciferase activity assay; 5) Assess cell viability by CCK-8 assay to evaluate formulation toxicity.
Animal Protocol
The in vivo animal assay protocol for (S)-C12-200, using the Ai14 reporter mouse model as an example: 1) Use 6-8 week old Ai14 transgenic mice (carrying a CAG-loxP-STOP-loxP-tdTomato reporter gene at the Rosa26 locus); 2) Prepare LNPs containing (S)-C12-200 encapsulating Cre recombinase mRNA via microfluidic technology; 3) Administer via tail vein intravenous injection at an mRNA dose of typically 0.2-1 mg/kg; 4) Euthanize animals 24-72 hours post-administration and collect liver tissue; 5) Prepare liver single-cell suspensions or frozen sections, and measure the percentage of tdTomato-positive cells by flow cytometry or fluorescence microscopy; 6) Compare delivery efficiency between (S)-C12-200, (R)-C12-200, and racemate groups to evaluate the impact of stereoconfiguration on in vivo activity.
