C14-4 (C14-494,Lipid B-4,Lipid B4)
|
C14-4 (C14-494,Lipid B-4,Lipid B4) is a novel ionizable lipid with the highest T-cell transfection efficiency and low cytotoxicity.The C14-4 ionizable lipid has been explored for CAR-T therapy.To screen the excellent formulations for mRNA delivery, a
lipid library of 24 ionizable lipids was constructed to make
iLNPs, which were used to deliver luciferase mRNA into
Jurkat cells.[115] The optimal iLNPs formulation was C14-4
iLNPs (C14-4 ionizable lipid, DOPE, chol, and PEG at a molar
ratio of 35%, 16%, 46.5%, and 2.5%) (Figure 6c). The optimal
dose of luciferase mRNA for C14-4 iLNPs was 30 ng.
Compared with electroporated CAR T cells, the CAR T cells engineered
via C14-4 iLNPs showed potent cancer-killing activity
when they were cocultured with Nalm-6 acute lymphoblastic leukemia
cells. To obtain a safer and more effective CAR mRNA
delivery vehicle, the orthogonal design provided 256 potential
formulations, and 16 representative iLNPs formulations were
evaluated.Through evaluating the safety, delivery efficiency,
and transfection efficiency of 16 iLNPs, the formulation B10
(C14-4 ionizable lipid, DOPE, chol, PEG at a molar ratio of
40%, 30%, 25%, and 2.5%) was screened out as the optimal performing formulation. The luciferase expression based on B10
formulation was increased threefold than the initial formulation.
Reducing the accumulation and clearance of iLNPs in the liver
can increase the expression of CAR mRNA in T cells, further
improving the therapeutic effect of CAR-T. Studies have shown
that cholesterol analogs can alter the mechanisms of intracellular
circulation and enhance the delivery of mRNA, which may be
related to the reduced recognition of iLNPs by the Niemann
Pick C1 (NPC1) enzyme.The addition of a hydroxyl
group to various locations in the cholesterol molecule can alter
the binding kinetics between the modified cholesterol and NPC1,
and reduced NPC1 recognition of cholesterol. The results
showed that replacement of 25% and 50% 7 α-hydroxycholesterol
for cholesterol in iLNPs improved mRNA delivery to
primary human T cells in vitro by 1.8-fold and twofold,
respectively.C14-4 is one of the ionizable lipids to efficiently deliver mRNA
to Jurkat cells or primary human T cells. It will effectively promote
the development of mRNA delivery by iLNPs for CAR-T
therapy. |

Lipid TD5
|
TD5 is a brain-targeting lipid nanoparticle (BLNP) engineered for efficient mRNA delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) via intrathecal injection. It incorporates a tryptamine-derived ionizable lipid headgroup, myristic acid hydrocarbon tails, and a biodegradable carbonate ester linker, enabling pH-dependent mRNA encapsulation (81.7% efficiency) and brain cell-specific targeting. With a hydrodynamic diameter of 107.5 nm, near-neutral pKa (7.30), and mild positive charge, TD 5 demonstrates superior CNS tropism through serotonin receptor (5-HT1A)-mediated endocytosis. In vitro, TD-5 achieved 80.8% GFP expression in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells, outperforming MC3 LNPs by 50-fold. Following intrathecal administration in mice, TD-5 mediated GFP expression in 29.6% of neurons and 38.1% of astrocytes brain-wide, with 10-fold higher CNS specificity than peripheral organs. Genome editing studies showed TD5-delivered Cas9/sgRNA induced tdTomato activation in ≈30% of neurons and 40% of astrocytes across key brain regions. Safety profiling revealed minimal systemic immune responses (lower IL-6, IL-12p40 vs MC3 LNPs), normal hepatic/renal biomarkers, and no histopathological toxicity. The optimized structure balances myristic chain hydrophobicity for membrane interaction, ionizable amines for mRNA complexation, and tryptamine-mediated targeting for enhanced CNS uptake, establishing TD5 as a promising platform for CNS gene therapies. |

CICL-207
|
CICL 207 is structurally optimized based on Lipid CICL-1. CICL207 is a constrained ionizable cationic lipid designed for lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems developed by Capstan. Its structure features a rigid cyclic backbone (e.g., pyrrolidine-derived core) paired with a tertiary amine group that ionizes at acidic pH (pKa ~6.5–7.0), enhancing endosomal escape. The lipid includes asymmetric hydrophobic tails (likely C14–C18 alkyl/ester chains) to stabilize LNP membranes and improve nucleic acid encapsulation. Integrated into LNPs (e.g., 58% CICL-207, 10% DSPC, 30.5% cholesterol, PEG-lipids), it enables targeted delivery to T cells (anti-CD5/CD8 tLNPs) with high transfection efficiency (spleen T cells >70% mCherry+), reduced liver uptake, and low toxicity (no significant ALT/AST elevation in rats). Its constrained design balances stability, tissue specificity, and biocompatibility for gene therapy applications.CICL 207 (F50) significantly outperforms CICL-1 by delivering dramatically enhanced target cell transfection with reduced off-target effects. It achieves >50% transfection efficiency in splenic T-cells—nearly double that of CICL-1—while slashing off-target expression in liver cells to <5% (versus >15% for CICL-1. This precision translates to superior therapeutic outcomes: CICL-207 enables ~95% B-cell depletion in CAR-T applications, far exceeding CICL-1 ’s ~60% efficacy. Critically, it maintains an exceptional safety profile, showing no significant liver toxicity or inflammatory cytokine elevation even at high doses. Furthermore, CICL-207 demonstrates 2-fold higher transfection efficiency in hematopoietic stem cells, enabling robust gene editing. Its optimized pKa (~6.5) and constrained amine structure enhance endosomal escape while minimizing Kupffer cell uptake, making it ideal for targeted therapeutics requiring both potency and safety. |
