Description:

CICL1 (L829) is a novel ionizable cationic lipid specifically engineered for targeted lipid nanoparticles (tLNPs) that enables efficient in vivo delivery of mRNA payloads to CD8+ T cells. Designed to overcome limitations of conventional LNPs, CICL-1 (L-829)significantly reduces off-target delivery to the liver and exhibits rapid clearance compared to benchmark lipids like ALC-0315, while demonstrating enhanced biodegradability and tolerability in rodent and primate models. When incorporated into CD8-targeted tLNPs, CICL 1 (L829 enables preferential transfection of CD8+ T cells over other immune subsets, facilitating the generation of functional anti-CD19 or anti-CD20 CAR T cells directly *in vivo*. These tLNP-engineered CAR T cells mediate rapid, deep B-cell depletion in humanized mice and cynomolgus monkeys, with repopulating B cells exhibiting a naïve phenotype suggestive of immune reset. By eliminating the need for ex vivo manufacturing or lymphodepleting chemotherapy, the L829-tLNP platform represents a safer, scalable approach for accessible CAR T therapy in oncology and autoimmune diseases.

DC60856	DMA4-H228	DMA4-H228 is a novel, biodegradable lipidoid specifically engineered for spleen-targeted mRNA delivery. Its structure combines a dimethylamino (DMA4) headgroup with a unique hyperbranched lipid tail (H228) synthesized via Michael addition, incorporating ester bonds for enhanced biodegradability. This design enables the formation of stable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) (~170 nm) with high mRNA encapsulation efficiency (>96%). Critically, DMA4-H228 exhibits exceptional intrinsic tropism for the spleen (>98% targeting efficiency after IV administration), requiring no external targeting ligands. It selectively delivers mRNA to splenic antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. This triggers potent immune activation: rapid IFNα secretion, upregulation of APC maturation markers (CD86/CD40), and robust antigen-specific immune responses. Demonstrating significant therapeutic potential, DMA4-H228-based mRNA vaccines effectively inhibit tumor growth in melanoma models (e.g., B16F10-OVA). This correlates with increased tumor-infiltrating CD8⁺ T cells, a shift towards pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages, elevated antigen-specific antibodies (IgG), and strong T cell responses (evidenced by IFNγ⁺ spots). Its ability to bypass liver tropism and directly activate splenic APCs makes DMA4-H228 a powerful platform for next-generation mRNA vaccines and cancer immunotherapy.
