LIPID NANOPARTICLES (LNP) FOR mRNA FORMULATION
LNP Formulation Services
Comprehensive Lipid NanoParticle Formulation Development & Commercialization
Delivering the capabilities pharma needs to support its drug strategies, CordenPharma offers advanced LNP formulation technologies and forward-integrated sterile injectable manufacturing services to create a proven commercialization pathway.
We support requirements for Pre-filled Syringes (PFS), Vials, Ampoules and Lyophilized Vials, with a wide range of filling volumes and secure supply with highly compatible excipients and reliable synthesis.
Our cGMP processing and manufacturing strategies are based on ethanol injection, including in‐line T‐junction mixing (used to mix an organic and aqueous phase in a controlled manner) as well as a microfluidic mixing method.
These methods work using the same principle for the formation of LNPs:
- >> Formed by a quick increase in polarity of the environment induced by rapid mixing of the two miscible phases. This rapid mixing induces supersaturation of lipid molecules.
- >> Self‐assemble into the desired structure without the need for size‐reduction methods.
Creating Better Lipid NanoParticles for Vaccine Innovation
Lipid NanoParticles are liposome-like structures composed primarily of cationic lipids, along with other lipid ingredients. These typically include neutral phospholipid molecules especially geared towards encapsulating a broad variety of genetic payloads:
- >> DNA-RNA based nucleic acids
- >> siRNA, mRNA and saRNA
- >> CRISPR / Cas9 genome‐editing
The Essentials to mRNA Development & Delivery
Proven essential to the safe, effective delivery of COVID-19 vaccines and other mRNA / xRNA-based Drug Products, our LNP Formulation services form mRNA delivery systems that help efficiently express the mRNA-encoded immunogen after intramuscular injection. A key player in the therapeutic performance of mRNA-based vaccines, Lipid NanoParticles support efficacy, potency, and vaccine reactogenicity.
LNPs are excellent drug delivery vehicles for transporting the therapeutic cargo of interest within a protective, outer layer of lipids, and can take a wide variety of forms in application.
Proven LNP Formulation & Commercialization Pathway
To enable the capabilities pharma needs to support today’s mRNA and any other x-RNA drug strategies, CordenPharma continues to invest in advanced LNP formulation technologies and sterile injectable manufacturing services:
