Product Description
(Rac)-1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylglycerol (sodium) is an anionic phospholipid and can be used for drug delivery and liposome synthesis.
(Rac)-1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylglycerol sodium (DSPG-Na; CAS#: 124011-52-5) is a synthetic anionic phospholipid composed of two stearic acid chains linked to a glycerol backbone with a phosphatidylglycerol group. The sodium salt formulation significantly enhances its water solubility, making it a fundamental component in the formulation of lipid nanoparticles and liposomes. It is extensively utilized as an excipient in drug delivery systems, particularly for the encapsulation and targeted delivery of therapeutic agents such as siRNA and mRNA. This compound is essential for cellular membrane studies, artificial membrane modeling, and the development of lipid-based therapies. It is supplied as a research-grade chemical with a purity of ≥95% and is stored at -20degC.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(Rac)-1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylglycerol sodium is not a drug candidate itself but rather a structural excipient. It functions as an anionic component of liposomal bilayers, imparting a negative charge to lipid nanoparticles. This negative surface charge is critical for preventing nanoparticle aggregation in circulation, enhancing colloidal stability, and facilitating interactions with the positively charged cellular membrane. By integrating into liposomal formulations, this phospholipid serves as a membrane stabilizer and promotes the encapsulation efficiency of nucleic acids.
ln Vitro
In vitro, (Rac)-1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylglycerol sodium is incorporated into liposomal formulations to evaluate its effect on lipid membrane stability and drug encapsulation efficiency. Standard assays include measuring the zeta potential of liposomes to confirm negative surface charge, which correlates with reduced serum protein binding and improved circulation times. Cell culture studies demonstrate that liposomes containing this anionic lipid enhance the cellular uptake of encapsulated siRNA and mRNA via endocytosis, as observed in HEK293 and HeLa cell lines.
ln Vivo
In vivo, (Rac)-1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylglycerol sodium is a key component of ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used for the systemic delivery of mRNA and siRNA in animal models. Following intravenous injection in mice, LNPs containing this phospholipid have demonstrated efficient delivery to hepatocytes and tumor tissues. Its presence in the formulation contributes to prolonged circulation time (t1/2 ~2-4 hours in rodents) and enhanced gene silencing or protein expression compared to LNP formulations lacking the anionic component.
Enzyme Assay
For non-cell-based assays, the physicochemical properties of DSPG-Na are characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential analysis. Liposomes prepared by thin-film hydration or microfluidics are mixed with DSPG-Na at various molar ratios (e.g., 5-30 mol%). The formulation is extruded through 100 nm polycarbonate membranes to achieve uniform size distribution. DLS measures hydrodynamic diameter (target 80-120 nm), and zeta potential is measured in PBS (pH 7.4) to confirm a negative surface charge (typically -20 to -40 mV). Encapsulation efficiency is determined by fluorescent exclusion assays.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell assays, HEK293 or HeLa cells are seeded in 24-well plates at 5 × 10^4 cells per well 24 hours prior to treatment. Lipid nanoparticles containing DSPG-Na (1 mol%), ionizable lipid, cholesterol, and PEG-lipid encapsulating Cy5-labeled siRNA or GFP mRNA are prepared. Cells are treated with LNPs at siRNA/mRNA concentrations ranging from 0.1-100 nM for 4-6 hours. After 24-48 hours of incubation, cellular uptake is quantified by flow cytometry (Cy5 fluorescence), and gene knockdown (siRNA) or protein expression (mRNA) is measured by qPCR or Western blot.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal models, male BALB/c mice (6-8 weeks old) are intravenously injected via tail vein with DSPG-Na-containing LNPs encapsulating firefly luciferase mRNA at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg (mRNA equivalent). At 6 hours post-injection, mice are intraperitoneally administered D-luciferin (150 mg/kg), and bioluminescence imaging is performed to assess luciferase expression in liver, spleen, and other organs. For siRNA delivery, tissue samples are harvested at 48 hours for qPCR analysis of target gene (e.g., Factor VII) knockdown.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of DSPG-Na are inherently tied to the LNP formulation. As a lipid excipient, DSPG-Na does not circulate independently. When incorporated into LNPs (size ~100 nm, zeta potential -30 mV), the formulation exhibits a plasma half-life of approximately 2-4 hours in mice following IV administration. The volume of distribution is primarily confined to the vascular space and organs of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), including liver and spleen. The compound is metabolized by phospholipases and eliminated via the biliary route.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As a phospholipid excipient used in parenteral formulations, (Rac)-1,2-Distearoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphatidylglycerol sodium is generally regarded as biocompatible and well-tolerated. In preclinical studies, DSPG-Na-containing LNPs administered intravenously at therapeutic doses (0.1-1 mg/kg nucleic acid equivalent) do not cause significant acute toxicity or elevation of liver enzymes (ALT/AST) compared to controls. The LD50 in rodents is >2000 mg/kg. However, high doses of LNPs may induce transient complement activation-related pseudoallergy (CARPA). This compound is an excipient, not a pharmaceutical drug.

Additional Infomation
DSPG-Na is a USP/NF-grade excipient widely used in FDA-approved liposomal drug products and nucleic acid delivery systems. Its sodium salt formulation provides enhanced solubility in aqueous buffers, facilitating the preparation of stable liposomal dispersions without organic co-solvents. The compound is supplied with a purity of ≥95% and stored at -20degC to prevent hydrolysis of the ester bonds. It is strictly for research use and is not intended for human therapeutic administration. In RNA interference and gene editing research, this phospholipid is essential for formulating stable, high-loading LNPs for CRISPR-Cas9 delivery.
