NANOMATERIALS
Lipid nanoparticle compositions for delivery of nucleic acids are described. In various embodiments the lipid nanoparticle contains an ionizable lipid of the Formula (I). Methods of using such lipid nanoparticle compositions to achieve targeted delivery of therapeutic cargo without the need for a targeting ligand are also provided.
1 . A method of delivering a nucleic acid to a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject a lipid nanoparticle composition, wherein the lipid nanoparticle composition comprises:
an ionizable lipid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;
a phospholipid;
a polyethylene glycol-lipid;
a cholesterol; and
a nucleic acid.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the amount of ionizable lipid is present in a range of about 35 to 65 mole percent, based on total moles.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound is any one of examples 1-148:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the phospholipid is DSPC.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the phospholipid is DMPC.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the nucleic acid is siRNA, miRNA, mRNA, expressing DNA, anti-sense oligonucleotide, or immunostimulatory oligonucleotide.
