| Targets |
ZA3-Ep10 targets cellular membranes and undergoes pH-dependent ionization, facilitating endosomal escape of encapsulated RNA payloads. LNPs containing ZA3-Ep10 selectively accumulate in the liver, lung, and kidneys over the heart and spleen in mice. The compound has no direct protein target.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, ZA3-Ep10 LNPs demonstrate efficient delivery of mRNA and single-guide RNA (sgRNA) to various cell lines. The LNPs show high transfection efficiency with minimal cytotoxicity, enabling robust gene expression and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing in cultured cells. Cellular uptake studies confirm LNP internalization via endocytosis.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, ZA3-Ep10 LNPs enable successful RNA delivery and non-viral CRISPR/Cas gene editing in mouse models. Following intravenous administration, the LNPs show preferential accumulation in the liver, lung, and kidneys. Studies demonstrate effective gene editing in hepatic tissues with minimal off-target effects. The compound is valuable for therapeutic gene editing applications.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
The pKa of ZA3-Ep10 is determined by titration in liposomal formulations. The lipid is incorporated into LNPs with helper lipids and cholesterol, and the apparent pKa is calculated using a pH-sensitive fluorescent dye. Typical values for zwitterionic lipids range from 6-7 for optimal endosomal escape.
|
| Cell Assay |
For cell-based assays, adherent cells (e.g., HEK-293, HepG2) are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with ZA3-Ep10 LNPs encapsulating mRNA or sgRNA/Cas9 complexes. After 48-72 hours, transfection efficiency is measured by reporter gene expression (luciferase or GFP). Gene editing efficiency is assessed by T7E1 assays, Sanger sequencing, or flow cytometry for GFP disruption. Cytotoxicity is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo evaluation, female BALB/c mice are intravenously injected with ZA3-Ep10 LNPs encapsulating Cre recombinase mRNA or CRISPR/Cas9 components. Blood and organs are harvested at various time points for analysis. Gene editing efficiency in tissues is quantified by PCR, sequencing, or by using reporter mice (e.g., Ai14 tdTomato reporter). Biodistribution is assessed by whole-body fluorescence imaging or qRT-PCR for mRNA levels.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic data for ZA3-Ep10 are limited. When formulated into LNPs, the encapsulated RNA exhibits a circulation half-life of several hours, with predominant accumulation in the liver and lungs. The lipid component is cleared via metabolic pathways. No standalone PK parameters are available.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity data specific to ZA3-Ep10 are limited. In LNP-formulated studies, no significant acute toxicity or adverse effects have been reported at effective doses. In vitro cytotoxicity assessments in HEK-293 and HepG2 cells show a favorable safety profile.

| Additional Infomation |
ZA3-Ep10 is a research-grade zwitterionic lipid for RNA delivery and gene editing, not approved for human therapy. It is particularly valuable for organ-selective delivery, with preferential accumulation in liver, lung, and kidneys over heart and spleen. No clinical trials are registered for ZA3-Ep10.
