| Targets |
OF-Deg-Lin does not have a defined pharmacological target; it is a formulation component. As an ionizable cationic lipid, it carries a positive charge in acidic environments (such as within endosomes), enhancing its interaction with negatively charged nucleic acids (mRNA, siRNA) and facilitating encapsulation. At physiological pH, it is neutrally charged, which reduces toxicity and prolongs circulation. The lipid is designed to be degradable, which helps minimize toxicity by allowing clearance after drug delivery. The primary mechanism of action is to facilitate the delivery of nucleic acids into target cells via LNP-mediated endocytosis and endosomal escape.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, OF-Deg-Lin has been used in the generation of LNPs for the delivery of mRNA in cell culture. LNPs formulated with OF-Deg-Lin demonstrate efficient cellular uptake and transfection in various cell lines, including immune cells and hepatocytes. The ionizable nature of OF-Deg-Lin promotes endosomal escape, allowing the release of mRNA into the cytoplasm where it can be translated into the encoded protein. The degradable ester linkages in the lipid structure enhance biodegradability, potentially improving the safety profile of the LNPs. OF-Deg-Lin is used in the research and development of LNP-based mRNA vaccines and gene therapies.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, OF-Deg-Lin is used to formulate LNPs that deliver mRNA and other nucleic acid therapeutics in animal models. LNPs formulated with OF-Deg-Lin show favorable biodistribution and pharmacokinetic properties, enabling efficient protein expression in target tissues such as the liver and spleen after intravenous administration. The degradable nature of OF-Deg-Lin may reduce the risk of lipid accumulation and chronic toxicity compared to non-degradable ionizable lipids. OF-Deg-Lin is a useful ionizable lipid for LNP-based vaccine and therapeutic development.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
For LNP formulation, OF-Deg-Lin is typically combined with helper lipids (e.g., DSPC, cholesterol, and PEG-lipid) in organic solvent (ethanol) at defined molar ratios (e.g., OF-Deg-Lin : cholesterol : DSPC : PEG-lipid = 50:38.5:10:1.5). The lipid mixture is mixed with an aqueous solution containing mRNA at a controlled flow rate using a microfluidic device, resulting in spontaneous LNP formation. The resulting LNPs are dialyzed against PBS to remove ethanol and concentrated by ultrafiltration. Particle size (typically 60-120 nm), polydispersity index, and encapsulation efficiency are characterized.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro transfection assays, cells are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with LNPs containing mRNA encoding a reporter protein (e.g., luciferase or GFP). After 24-48 hours, reporter expression is quantified by bioluminescence (luciferase) or fluorescence microscopy/flow cytometry (GFP). Cytotoxicity is assessed by MTT assay.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies, OF-Deg-Lin-based LNPs are formulated to encapsulate mRNA (e.g., luciferase or a therapeutic protein), diluted in PBS or sucrose buffer, and administered to rodents via intravenous injection at doses of 0.1-5 mg/kg (based on mRNA content). Protein expression is measured by bioluminescence imaging (IVIS) or by tissue collection and assay for protein concentration (ELISA). Tissue distribution is assessed by quantifying mRNA content in organs (liver, spleen, lungs) by qPCR.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for OF-Deg-Lin as a free lipid are not available, as it is always formulated into LNPs. The molecular weight of OF-Deg-Lin is 1482.28, and the molecular formula is C92H160N4O10. It is an ionizable aminolipid that appears as an oil at room temperature. The degradable ester linkages in the lipid structure contribute to its biodegradability and clearance. The compound should be stored at -20degC to prevent degradation.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological data for OF-Deg-Lin alone are limited, but as an ionizable lipid, it is expected to have an acceptable safety profile when used in LNP formulations at appropriate doses. LNP administration may cause transient elevation of liver enzymes (ALT/AST) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are typically dose-dependent and reversible. Comprehensive toxicity studies are formulation-dependent.
