| Targets |
The primary targets of 4A3-SC8 are not biological receptors but rather the siRNA or RNA payload it delivers. As a delivery vehicle, it enables the encapsulation and intracellular delivery of RNA therapeutics. It is designed to facilitate the accumulation of siRNA in the liver, spleen, and kidneys following intravenous administration.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, 4A3-SC8 functions as a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) component for RNA delivery. It encapsulates siRNA, protecting it from degradation and facilitating its cellular uptake. This leads to the effective silencing of target genes, such as Factor VII (FVII), in cell-based assays.
|
| ln Vivo |
In mice injected intravenously with 1 mg siRNA/kg for 24 hours, 4A3-SC8 promotes siRNA accumulation primarily in the liver and a minor amount in the spleen and kidney, and it inhibits >95% of FVII [1]. On the first day following injection, mice receiving 100 mg/kg of 4A3-SC8 (together with 4 mg/kg of control siRNA siCTR) experienced illness and lost close to 20% of their body weight [1].
In vivo, 4A3-SC8-containing LNPs mediate siRNA accumulation mainly in the liver, with some accumulation in the spleen and kidneys, 24 hours after intravenous injection. This targeted delivery enables potent gene silencing, achieving >95% knockdown of hepatic Factor VII in mice. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Non-cellular assays for 4A3-SC8 typically involve characterizing its physicochemical properties, such as particle size, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency. These assays are used to optimize LNP formulations and ensure consistent quality for in vitro and in vivo studies.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cellular assays for 4A3-SC8 are conducted using cell lines to assess siRNA delivery efficiency and gene silencing. Cells are treated with 4A3-SC8/siRNA complexes, and target gene expression is measured by qPCR or Western blotting. Cell viability is assessed to determine cytotoxicity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal experiments for 4A3-SC8 typically use mouse models. The compound is administered via intravenous injection, and its biodistribution is assessed by measuring siRNA accumulation in various organs. Gene silencing efficacy is evaluated by measuring target gene expression (e.g., FVII) in the liver.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of 4A3-SC8 are related to its role as a drug delivery vehicle. Following intravenous injection, the LNPs facilitate the rapid accumulation of siRNA in target organs, such as the liver. The dendrimer is designed to be degradable, which may enhance its clearance and safety profile.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for 4A3-SC8 are limited, as it is a research reagent. Studies have shown that it is well-tolerated in mice at the doses used for siRNA delivery. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling the compound.

| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: 2.5 mg/mL (1.70 mM) in 10% EtOH + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), Suspended solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of ethanol stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD saline and mix well. Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
