Abstract
Ionizable lipid ALC-0315 – ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate) – is a part of the lipid matrix of the mRNA vaccine for the prevention of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus manufactured by Pfizer/BioNTech. This lipid provides effective assembly of the vaccine particle, protection of mRNA from premature degradation, and after endocytosis, promotes the release of nucleic acid into the cytoplasm for further processing. In this paper, a simplified and economical method for producing ALC-0315 is proposed, which can be used in the production of mRNA vaccines.
