C12H10O4Na2

MW 5,500 (based on weight)
2,100 (based on number)
CAS 26762-29-8
Purity Chemicals ≥98%
Appearance White powder.
Solubility Soluble in water, and buffer solutions (pH 4.50-8.50) to allow the formulation of a proprietary, thermostable, aqueous lipid nanoparticle.
Reconstitution Avoid the use of buffers with divalent ions such as Ca or Mg or pH <3.5 or >5.5, which can cause P(SMA) precipitation or interfere with SMA-Lipid Particle fornulation or stability.
Formulation Lipodisq™ are nanosized lipid-based discoidal particles that can be manufactured with P(SMA)/ SMALP and lipids such as DMPC (14:0 PC) (DMPC: IAX-700-400) to incorporate hydrophobic, poorly water-soluble active compounds.
Declaration Manufactured by Innaxon.

Scientific Background Information

Product Description
  • A nanoparticle (11-40nm) drug delivery system comprising a discoidal phospholipid bilayer membrane stabilized by a chaperone molecular annulus.
  • Components are batch-tested for Lipodisq™ formation using buffer systems available, which are tested for nano-formulated drug analysis by Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). These buffer solutions are endotoxin-tested and sterile.

Enables membrane proteins (MP) to be reconstituted within phospholipid membrane mimics without the use of mediating detergent. Nanodiscs formed from SMA are also referred to as styrene maleic acid lipid particles (SMALP). SMA-lipid particles are formed by directly extracting membrane proteins either from native cellular membranes (giving native nanodiscs) or from an intermediary MP-reconstituted synthetic membrane system to ultimately form self-assembled discoidal nano-structures of a general diameter of 10-12 nm.

  • uSMA requires only a single polymer grade to be used, avoids the need to select several SMA grades that each operate only over a narrow pH range.
  • uSMA can be tailored to operate over a wide pH range 4.5-8.5 by simple addition of standard quantities of pH-Selector™
  • uSMA is insensitive to presence of divalent cations, Ca2+(<10mM) and Mg2+ (<30mM), suitable for use with ion pores, ABC transporters and ion sensitive GPCR assemblies
  • uSMA can be modified to form larger particles, reducing direct interactions between the polymer chaperone and membrane‑bound proteins

The ability of SMA to create monodisperse nanodiscs covering a range of particle sizes facilitates the reconstitution of oligomeric MPs and MP complexes for analysis by various methods including fluorescence microscopy, NMR and single-particle cryo-EM.
