| Targets |
YSK-05 does not have a classical protein target. Its primary target is the endosomal membrane. As a pH-sensitive cationic lipid, it facilitates the escape of nucleic acid cargo from endosomes into the cytoplasm, a major barrier to effective gene delivery.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
By encouraging MEND's endosomal escape, YSK 05 improves the effectiveness of siRNA transport to the cytoplasm and gene silencing [1].
YSK-05-MEND, the lipid nanoparticle formulation containing YSK-05, demonstrates significantly good gene silencing activity and hemolytic activity in vitro. It effectively overcomes the suppression of endosomal escape caused by polyethylene glycol (PEG) modification, enhancing siRNA delivery. |
| ln Vivo |
YSK-05 effectively enhances siRNA delivery in vivo. In animal models, YSK-05 formulated lipid nanoparticles delivered siRNA to hepatocytes and demonstrated significant gene silencing after intravenous administration.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The pKa of YSK-05 (apparent pKa ~6.5) is determined to characterize its pH-sensitive properties. Hemolytic activity is assessed by measuring hemoglobin release from red blood cells at various pH levels. Endosomal escape is evaluated in cell-based assays using fluorescently labeled siRNA.
|
| Cell Assay |
HeLa or other cell lines are transfected with siRNA/YSK-05 lipoplexes. Gene silencing efficiency is quantified by measuring knockdown of a target gene (e.g., luciferase or a housekeeping gene) via qPCR or Western blot. Intracellular trafficking is visualized using confocal microscopy.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo protocols involve intravenous injection of siRNA-loaded YSK-05 lipid nanoparticles into mice (e.g., C57BL/6). After a specified time (e.g., 24-72 hours), tissues (liver, spleen) are harvested, and target gene expression is measured to assess gene silencing efficacy.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PK properties are characteristic of lipid nanoparticles. The siRNA cargo is protected from degradation and has an extended circulation time. YSK-05 itself is expected to be metabolized and cleared like other lipid components. Comprehensive ADME data is not publicly detailed.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicological assessment includes monitoring for hepatotoxicity via serum ALT/AST levels after administration. Histological analysis of major organs (liver, spleen, kidneys) is performed to assess tissue damage. YSK-05-MEND was well-tolerated in animal studies.

| Additional Infomation |
YSK-05 is an ionizable amino lipid that has been used in combination with other lipids (DSPC, cholesterol, PEG-lipid) to formulate LNP systems for nucleic acid delivery. It is a research tool for non-viral gene therapy and is not an approved drug.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
