C14-4
|
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. |

CL15F 6-4
|
CL15F 6-4 is a short-tail ionizable lipid from the piperidine-based CL15F series, characterized by its symmetric branched structure with a 6-carbon main chain and 4-carbon side chain. This specific tail length critically determines the lipid nanoparticle's (LNP) properties, resulting in larger particles with a high surface density of the phospholipid DSPC. This elevated DSPC density reduces interactions with serum proteins like ApoE, minimizing rapid liver clearance and shifting mRNA delivery preference towards the spleen. Consequently, CL15F 6-4 LNPs achieve efficient, endogenous spleen-targeted delivery, making them a highly promising candidate for enhancing vaccine efficacy by preferentially transfecting antigen-presenting cells without complex functionalization. |

CL15F 7-5
|
CL15F 7-5 is a piperidine-based ionizable lipid from the CL15F library, characterized by a symmetrically branched tail structure with a 7-carbon main chain and a 5-carbon side chain. This moderate tail length positions it between short-tail (e.g., CL15F 6-4) and long-tail (e.g., CL15F 14-12) variants, granting it a unique balance in mRNA delivery properties. Its LNPs exhibit optimized organ selectivity, enabling significant mRNA expression in both the spleen and muscle, as demonstrated by in vivo luciferase assays following intravenous and intramuscular administration. This lipid structure facilitates a favorable DSPC surface density on LNPs, which moderates interactions with serum proteins like ApoE, thereby reducing rapid hepatic clearance and promoting extrahepatic delivery. In vaccine applications, CL15F 7-5 LNPs encapsulating SARS-CoV-2 RBD mRNA elicited robust anti-RBD IgG titers and neutralizing antibodies in mice, outperforming the clinically benchmarked SM-102 lipid. The piperidine headgroup further contributes to storage stability by minimizing the generation of aldehyde impurities that can form mRNA-lipid adducts. Consequently, CL15F 7-5 represents a versatile lipid for developing stable, spleen-targeted mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, leveraging tail-length engineering for enhanced efficacy without complex formulation changes. |

Lipid te AA3-Dlin
|
Lipid te AA3-Dlin is a novel ionizable lipid developed for mRNA-LNP vaccines.When formulated into LNPs, te AA3-Dlin demonstrates excellent stability in serum and protects encapsulated mRNA from degradation. A key feature is its unique protein corona profile, with high ApoE abundance, which is crucial for efficient in vivo targeting, particularly to the spleen. This enables potent dendritic cell transfection, leading to enhanced antigen presentation and robust cytotoxic T-cell responses for superior antitumor immunity. |

Lipid A-12
|
Lipid A-12 is an ionizable cationic lipid from Capstan Therapeutics and a close analog of CICL-1 (L829). The key structural distinction is in the headgroup spacer length, where the value of 'n' is 1 in A-12, compared to 0 in CICL-1 (L829). |

PyCB lipid (MeDZ)
|
PyCB lipid (MeDZ) is a rationally designed zwitterionic ionizable lipid that serves as a core functional component in the novel three-component (ThrCo) lipid nanoparticle (LNP) platform. It is synthesized by covalently attaching a zwitterionic PyCB structure to the hydroxyl group of the clinically available ionizable lipid ALC-0315.Its key feature is its pH-responsive behavior. At physiological pH (~7.4), the PyCB headgroup exhibits zwitterionic properties, forming charge-assisted hydrogen bonds with water molecules (PyCB-H₂O complexes). This confers high hydrophilicity to the LNP surface, enhancing stability in aqueous environments and reducing nonspecific protein adsorption in the bloodstream. This zwitterionic surface effectively mimics and replaces PEGylated lipids, thereby avoiding PEG immunogenicity and the associated Accelerated Blood Clearance (ABC) effect upon repeated administrations.Crucially, in the acidic environment of endosomes (pH ~6.5), the PyCB group undergoes strong protonation, rapidly transforming into a cationic state (PyCB-H₃O⁺ complexes). This promotes efficient fusion with and disruption of the endosomal membrane, facilitating the escape and cytoplasmic release of encapsulated mRNA.By replacing both cholesterol and PEGylated lipids in traditional LNPs, PyCB lipid enables the redirection of LNP biodistribution from the liver to the spleen, achieving superior spleen-specific mRNA translation and enhancing antigen presentation for potent immune activation. |

ORNA Lipid AX-6
|
AX6 is an ionizable lipid in the F32 LNP formulation, engineered by ReNAgade/Orna Therapeutics for targeted mRNA delivery to T cells. AX-6's unique bridged bicyclic/polycyclic core with a tertiary amine group enables pH-dependent protonation and endosomal escape, while C14-C18 hydrophobic tails (optionally branched/fluorinated) enhance bilayer stability and mRNA encapsulation.

Compared to clinical benchmarks (SM-102, ALC-0315), its rigid core offers superior serum stability and immune-cell specificity, positioning it as an ideal candidate for CAR-T/NK therapies and next-gen vaccines. The F32 LNP system's proven efficacy (e.g., in vivo B-cell depletion) underscores AX 6's transformative potential for cell engineering and immunotherapies. |
