C&EN White Paper
Harnessing Chemistry for Scalable Manufacture of Lipids
Used in mRNA Delivery
Brought to you by Curia
Overview

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) were a critical element in the rapid development of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, but their effectiveness will extend to many other diseases. However, to produce LNP therapeutics at scales required for global rollouts, the chemistry of lipid synthesis must be carefully optimized.

This white paper will describe the various challenges and solutions involved in lipid synthesis and purification for successful LNP-based therapeutics.

Key Objectives:
  • How the different components of a LNP contribute to its function and stability.
  • The critical role of minimizing impurities during lipid synthesis.
  • Preferred purification methods for large-scale lipid synthesis.
  • The future of LNP-based mRNA delivery, including developments that enable more precise tissue- and cell type-targeting and improve LNP stability.
