SL02 is a next-generation ionizable lipid featuring a unique branched hydrophobic domain and a pH-sensitive dimethylaminoethyl headgroup（pKa 6.25）developed by Seqirus. Its asymmetric lipid tails, combining unsaturated and saturated chains, enhance LNP fusogenicity and endosomal membrane disruption. With a slightly lower pKa than SL01, SL02 achieves efficient mRNA binding at acidic pH while maintaining neutral charge in circulation, reducing nonspecific interactions. In vitro, SL02-LNPs show superior transfection potency in BHK-V cells, attributed to improved cellular uptake and endosomal escape kinetics. In vivo, it elicits high neutralizing antibody titers (comparable to MF59-adjuvanted vaccines) and robust CD8+ T-cell activation. The lipid’s ester-based design ensures biodegradability, while PEGylation compatibility enhances colloidal stability. SL02’s tailored balance of hydrophobicity and ionization enables precise control over nanoparticle size (70–120 nm) and low polydispersity, positioning it as a leading candidate for saRNA-based vaccines and gene therapies.
