Nanoparticle based siRNA formulations often suffer from aggregation and loss of function during storage. We in this study report a frozen targeted RGD-polyethylene glycol (PEG)-ECO/si beta 3 nanoparticle formulation with a prolonged shelf life and preserved nanoparticle functionality. The targeted RGD-PEG-ECO/si beta 3 nanoparticles are formed by step-wised self-assembly of RGD-PEG-maleimide, ECO, and siRNA. The nanoparticles have a diameter of 224.5 +/- 9.41 nm and a zeta potential to 45.96 +/- 3.67 mV in water and a size of 234.34 +/- 3.01 nm and a near neutral zeta potential in saline solution. The addition of sucrose does not affect their size and zeta potential and substantially preserves the integrity and biological activities of frozen and lyophilized formulations of the targeted nanoparticles. The frozen formulation with as low as 5% sucrose retains nanoparticle integrity (90% siRNA encapsulation), size distribution (polydispersity index [PDI]
