Cationic/Ionizable Lipids

In the past five years, DC Chemicals has focused on research and development in the RNA delivery field, successfully developing over 500 cationic lipid structures and maintaining an inventory of over 200 cationic lipids. We collaborate with leading gene delivery companies and research institutions worldwide, and our products and services have received widespread acclaim.
DC Chemicals has accumulated substantial experience in the synthesis of lipids, particularly for highly complex lipid molecules. Our unique chemical synthesis and purification processes often circumvent patented and literature-reported routes, allowing us to design new synthetic routes that yield lipid molecules with higher purity than those reported in literature and patents. Our representative molecules, such as LP-01, SM-102, ALC-0315, and DLIN-MC3-DMA, have purities exceeding 98% as tested by CAD-HPLC, placing them among the top purity products available.We have the capability to scale production from grams to kilograms.


Cationic ionizable lipids play a major role in the LNP formulation and its ability to transfect target cells with its cargo. The ionizable lipids are used to complex negatively charged nucleic acid cargo. The mRNA-cationic lipid complex fuses with the cell membrane and is then delivered into the cytosol. To be able to play these roles efficiently, a cationic ionizable lipid must be engineered with a suitable apparent acid dissociation constant (pKa). The apparent pKa of a cationic ionizable lipid is the likely pKa at the LNP surface. Currently, the cationic ionizable lipids in FDA-approved therapeutics all have an apparent pKa between 6-7. This is crucial for the cationic ionizable lipid to maintain a neutral charge while in systemic circulation (pH above the pKa of the lipid, pH ~7.5), as well as its ability to become positively charged in the endosome (pH ~6.5) and facilitate membrane fusion and subsequent cytosolic release.

DC60840 Lipid F10T5 Featured
F10T5 is a furan-derived ionizable lipid developed for mRNA delivery to the central nervous system through the meningeal lymphatic pathway. Its architecture incorporates an ionizable polyamine region and four hydrophobic tails containing acid-sensitive acetal linkages. Following subcutaneous administration near the deep cervical lymph nodes, F10T5 LNPs enabled functional mRNA expression in neurons, microglia, and astrocytes while producing relatively low signals in peripheral organs. Cre mRNA delivery resulted in tdTomato expression in approximately 8.93% of neurons, 7.0% of microglia, and 9.9% of astrocytes in mice. Compared with the co-lead lipid F11T6, F10T5 showed comparable total brain luciferase expression, stronger astrocyte transfection, and lower peripheral-organ distribution. Its activity was associated primarily with improved endosomal escape rather than increased cellular uptake. F10T5 remains a preclinical research lipid, and its repeat-dose safety, pharmacokinetics, and performance in larger animals require further evaluation.

DC68227 Lipid E20 Featured
E20 is a charge-switching ionizable lipid developed for efficient nucleic acid delivery with reduced inflammatory toxicity.

Unlike multiple benchmark LNPs, E20 did not exacerbate cytokine production in LPS-pretreated mice or human PBMCs. E20 also enabled sustained pDNA expression without the acute lethality observed with MC3-LNPs and improved IL-22 mRNA treatment in a mouse model of acute lung injury. E20 remains a preclinical research lipid.

DC60964 TTP-3 Featured
TTP-3 is an asymmetric Ugi-derived ionizable lipid developed specifically for pulmonary delivery of structured suppressor tRNA cargo. Its architecture combines a dimethylaminopropyl ionizable headgroup, two amide-containing linkages, and chemically distinct hydrophobic tails. Selected from a 1,000-member lipid library, TTP-3 showed the strongest suppressor-tRNA delivery in a cystic-fibrosis-relevant air–liquid interface model containing artificial mucus. An optimized formulation containing TTP-3, DOPE, β-sitosterol, and C14-PEG2000 produced approximately 38-fold higher functional pulmonary reporter expression than MC3 following intratracheal administration in mice. TTP-3 LNPs preferentially delivered tRNA to airway epithelial cells, including ciliated, club, ionocyte, and basal progenitor populations. When combined with chemically modified suppressor tRNAs, the platform restored CFTR expression and function in cellular, mouse, and patient-derived organoid models. TTP-3 remains a preclinical research lipid, and further optimization is required for aerosol delivery, repeat dosing, and clinical translation.

DC68141 AMG514 Featured
AMG514 is a novel ionizable lipid designed for formulating spleen-targeting lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to deliver immune‑remodeling mRNAs (IR‑mRNAs). Its key advantage lies in the formation of a unique “protein corona” enriched with vitronectin, coagulation factors, and specific apolipoproteins (e.g., ApoA‑IV), together with its relatively high apparent pKa (~7.5), which actively redirects LNPs to the spleen instead of the liver. This precise spleen‑targeting property enables efficient transfection of splenic antigen‑presenting cells (APCs). As a vaccine adjuvant, AMG514‑LNPs therefore elicit a more robust activation of adaptive immunity compared to conventional LNPs (e.g., cKK‑E12), generating significantly enhanced antigen‑specific CD8⁺ T‑cell and antibody responses, and inducing durable anti‑tumor immune memory in preclinical models.

DC67605 PyCB lipid Featured
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.

Mechanistically, its β-hydroxyl groups form hydrogen bonds with mRNA phosphate backbones, facilitating endosomal escape. AMG1541 degrades rapidly under enzymatic conditions, reducing long-term toxicity, and is effective for vaccines targeting pathogens like influenza and SARS-CoV-2, making it a promising candidate for clinical applications.
