CSL3 is a pH-switchable cationic lipid optimized for siRNA LNP delivery. Its core design features central pyridine and two ortho-methoxy groups, forming intramolecular hydrogen bonds under endosomal pH 5–6 to trigger conformational flip, which drives membrane fusion and efficient endosomal escape—an advantage absent in control lipid CSL4 without methoxy moieties. Formulated with DSPC, cholesterol and DMG-PEG2000 at a fixed molar ratio, CSL3-based LNPs achieve 85–95% siRNA encapsulation, uniform particle size and decent serum stability. In vitro tests show potent gene silencing with low cytotoxicity; in vivo intravenous administration enables obvious liver accumulation and dose-dependent Factor VII knockdown in mice, proving its great potential for hepatic RNAi therapeutic research.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
