4A3-SC7​​ is a proprietary, ionizable lipid component central to the SORT LNP platform developed for targeted organ delivery. It features a unique ​​branched-tail structure​​ designed to enhance mRNA encapsulation and endosomal escape. In the study, it served as the ​​primary ionizable lipid​​ in both Liver SORT LNPs and updated Lung SORT LNPs. For liver targeting, it was formulated at ​​15.04 mol%​​ alongside helper lipids (DOPE: 23.04%, Cholesterol: 38.72%), PEG-lipid (DMG-PEG2000: 3.2%), and the liver-targeting lipid ​​4A3-Cit (20 mol%)​​. This specific composition (Total lipid:RNA = 20:1 wt/wt) yielded LNPs with ​​~74 nm size​​, ​​low PDI (0.17)​​, and ​​high encapsulation efficiency (87%)​​ for large mRNAs like ABE editors (~5000 nt). Its branched-tail architecture was critical for stabilizing nanoparticles encapsulating large RNAs, overcoming a key limitation of previous formulations. 4A3-SC7-based Liver SORT LNPs enabled ​​>40% base editing in hepatocytes​​ in vivo, achieving durable correction of the disease-causing SERPINA1 mutation in PiZ mice and significantly reducing pathological protein aggregates. In the updated DualSORT system, 4A3-SC7 was also paired with ​​DORI​​ (instead of DOTAP) for improved lung targeting, demonstrating its versatility as a foundational ionizable lipid for multi-organ gene editing therapeutics.

DC60809 6Ac1-C12 6Ac1-C12 is an ester-core degradable ionizable cationic lipid designed for mRNA delivery, featuring a unique hexa-acrylate ester core ("6Ac1") conjugated with six N-methyldodecylamine chains ("C12") via solvent-free Michael addition. This branched architecture enables optimal mRNA encapsulation and confers exceptional stability, maintaining consistent ~100 nm particle size for over 30 days at 4°C—crucial for cold-chain storage. With a pKa ≈ 6.0, it facilitates pH-responsive endosomal escape through membrane fusion (80% FRET signal increase at pH 5.5) and efficient cytoplasmic mRNA release.Its composition allows precise organ targeting: in conventional four-component LNPs, 98% hepatic mRNA expression occurs post-IV administration, primarily in endothelial cells (60% transfection efficiency). Cholesterol removal enables lung-specific accumulation and translation via three-component formulations, overcoming historical hepatic off-targeting. The lipid shows negligible cytotoxicity in vitro (>85% cell viability) and no significant organ damage in vivo (ALT/AST/BUN/CREA levels comparable to PBS controls). Its degradable ester core hydrolyzes into smaller metabolites, enhancing biocompatibility. Modular compatibility with DOTAP/DDAB cationic lipids expands applicability for pulmonary or splenic targeting, establishing 6Ac1-C12 as a versatile platform for organ-selective mRNA therapeutics.

DC49907 5A2-SC8 5A2-SC8 is a dendrimer for miRNA delivery to late-stage liver tumors with low hepatotoxicity. 5A2-SC8 shows potent EC50 < 0.02 mg/kg (siRNA against FVII (siFVII)) in dose-response experiments, and well tolerated in separate toxicity studies in chronically ill mice bearing MYC-driven tumors. 5A2-SC8 is a degradable lipid-like compound (ester-based dendrimer) for small RNAs delivery.5A2-SC8, was obtained by screening a large library of more than 1500 ester-based dendrimers containing ionizable amino groups, which have three tertiary amine heads and five lipid tails. Based on this library, the in vitro transfection efficiency of different formulations of 5A2-SC8 iLNPs was evaluated, discovering the optimal formulation (5A2-SC8, DOPE, cholesterol, PEG at a molar ratio of 15:15:30:3) of 5A2-SC8 iLNPs for delivering fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) mRNA to liver.After the intravenous injection via tail, the model mice of hepatorenal tyrosinemia type I had strong FAH protein expression, which prevented body weight loss and increased the survival rate of hepatorenal tyrosinemia mice . In addition to introducing utility of 5A2-SC8 iLNPs for the therapeutic intervention, the 5A2-SC8 iLNPs containing DOTAP have been used to establish complex mouse models via intravenous injection, including in situ liverspecific cancer model and in situ lung-specific cancer model. Based on this iLNPs delivery system, 5A2-SC8 induced model construction method overcomes the time-consuming and costly disadvantages of traditional animal models establishing methods, including transgenesis and gene engineering in embryonic stem cells.
