Abstract

A nitrogen-branched non-linear PEGylated lipid containing a tertiary amine, which is represented by the Formula (1); wherein, B 1 and B 2 are linking bonds or alkylene groups; L 1 , L 2 , L d and L x are linking bonds or divalent linking groups L; R 1 and R 2 are C 1-50 aliphatic hydrocarbon groups or C 1-50 residues of aliphatic hydrocarbon derivative, each containing 0-10 heteroatoms; N core is a multivalent group of valence y+1 and contains a trivalent nitrogen-atom branching core connected to L d ; y is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or ≥10; XPEG are polyethylene glycol components. Compared with linear PEGylated lipids, the nitrogen-branched PEGylated lipid herein can realize better surface modification of LNP. The present invention also provides a lipid pharmaceutical composition and its formulation containing the PEGylated lipid, which can enhance the targeting ability of drugs and improve the transfection efficiency of nucleic acid drugs.
