Product Description
N1,N3,N5-Tris(4-dodecylhexadecyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide is an analog of TT3. TT3 is an ionizable lipid material used for the delivery of mRNA and CRISPR/Cas9.
N1,N3,N5-Tris(4-dodecylhexadecyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide is a synthetic compound belonging to the class of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs). It is an analogue of TT3, an ionizable lipid-like material for mRNA delivery. The compound has three long hydrophobic tails (4-dodecylhexadecyl) attached to a central benzene-tricarboxamide core, providing amphiphilic properties for self-assembly into lipid-like nanoparticles.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
None (excipient). This compound is an ionizable lipid-like material designed for mRNA delivery. It is not known to have a specific protein target; it functions by forming LNPs with mRNA, facilitating cellular uptake and endosomal escape in a pH-dependent manner.
ln Vitro
The compound self-assembles with mRNA to form LNPs capable of delivering mRNA to cells. In vitro studies with TT3 analogues (the parent compound) demonstrate high transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity. The benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide core enables hydrogen bonding and pi-pi stacking, stabilizing nanoparticle structure and enhancing mRNA encapsulation.
ln Vivo
The TT3 parent compound, which this compound is an analogue of, has been used to form LNPs for mRNA delivery in vivo. Following intravenous administration, TT3 LNPs efficiently deliver mRNA to the liver and other tissues, resulting in robust protein expression. This analogue is expected to show similar in vivo performance.
Enzyme Assay
N1,N3,N5-Tris(4-dodecylhexadecyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (C₉3H1₇₇N3O3, MW 1385.42) is an off-white to light yellow ointment. For LNP preparation, it is dissolved in ethanol (∼10-50 mg/mL) with helper lipids (e.g., DSPC, cholesterol, PEG-lipid). This mixture is combined with an acidic aqueous buffer containing mRNA (e.g., in 25-50 mM sodium acetate, pH 4) via microfluidic mixing at a flow rate ratio of 3:1 (aqueous:ethanol). LNPs form spontaneously with sizes of 50-150 nm. Ethanol is removed by dialysis, and pH is raised to 7.4. Encapsulation efficiency (>90%) is measured using Ribogreen assay, and pKa is determined using TNS fluorescence.
Cell Assay
The compound is dissolved in DMSO or ethanol to prepare stock solutions (10-50 mg/mL) and diluted in cell culture media (final DMSO <0.5%). Cells (e.g., HEK293, HeLa, HepG2) are seeded in 96- or 24-well plates (1-5×10⁴ cells/well) and treated with LNPs encapsulating reporter mRNA (GFP, luciferase) at mRNA doses of 0.01-1 ug/well for 4-6 h. After replacing media, reporter gene expression is measured 24-48 h post-transfection: luciferase activity via luminescence; GFP expression via flow cytometry. Cellular uptake is assessed by Cy5-labeled mRNA and flow cytometry. Cytotoxicity is evaluated by MTT assay.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies (based on the TT3 parent compound), LNPs containing the compound and luciferase mRNA are administered intravenously via the tail vein to female BALB/c or C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) at mRNA doses of 0.2-1 mg/kg. Bioluminescence imaging is performed 6-24 h post-dose. For biodistribution, mice are euthanized 24-72 h post-dose, and tissues (liver, spleen, lung, kidney) are harvested for ex vivo imaging, qRT-PCR for mRNA distribution, and H&E histology. Blood samples are collected for serum cytokine analysis (IL-6, TNF-alpha).
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No detailed PK data for this specific compound has been reported. Based on the TT3 parent compound, LNPs are expected to have a circulation half-life of 2-5 hours following i.v. administration, with predominant accumulation in the liver (∼50-70% of dose) and spleen (∼10-20%). The compound is an ionizable lipid-like material; its metabolism likely involves hydrolysis of amide bonds or oxidation of alkyl tails, leading to clearance via biliary and renal routes. PK parameters are not publicly available.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No toxicity data for this specific compound has been reported. Based on the TT3 parent compound, LNPs are generally well-tolerated at therapeutic mRNA doses (0.2-1 mg/kg i.v.) in mice, with no significant changes in body weight or serum biomarkers (ALT, AST, creatinine). Mild, transient cytokine elevation (IL-6, TNF-alpha) may occur. The long alkyl tails (C12-C16) may increase accumulation in adipose tissue upon repeat dosing, but this has not been studied.

Additional Infomation
This compound (CAS 2922283-38-1, C₉3H1₇₇N3O3, MW 1385.42) has ≥98% purity and is an off-white to light yellow ointment. Storage at -20degC is recommended. It is an analogue of TT3, a TRIS-derived lipid-like material for mRNA delivery. No clinical trials or regulatory approvals have been reported; it is for research use only. The benzene-tricarboxamide core with three long hydrophobic tails provides a branched architecture that may enhance mRNA encapsulation and delivery efficiency.
