SM-102
heptadecan-9-yl 8-((2-hydroxyethyl)(6-oxo-6-(undecyloxy)hexyl)amino)octanoate
SM-102, a synthetic ionizable lipid with a pKa of 6.68, can be used in combination with other lipids to formulate lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for drug delivery applications. mRNA delivery via LNPs formulated with SM-102 show good efficiency and accumulation primarily in the liver.
SM-102 is most known as a component of mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines but has also been, and continues to be, studied for delivery of other payloads and various applications. Below is a sample of studies conducted using formulations containing SM-102:
- Peptide-conjugated PLK1-targeted siRNA delivery across the blood-brain barrier for treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.1
- Transfection of dendritic cells with circular RNA (circRNA) vaccines to elicit T cell responses.2
- Delivery of ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) for in vivo genome editing.3
