  • Patent number: 11414393
    Abstract: Aminoalcohol lipidoids are prepared by reacting an amine with an epoxide-terminated compound are described. Methods of preparing aminoalcohol lipidoids from commercially available starting materials are also provided. Aminoalcohol lipidoids may be prepared from racemic or stereochemically pure epoxides. Aminoalcohol lipidoids or salts forms thereof are preferably biodegradable and biocompatible and may be used in a variety of drug delivery systems. Given the amino moiety of these aminoalcohol lipidoid compounds, they are particularly suited for the delivery of polynucleotides. Complexes, micelles, liposomes or particles containing the inventive lipidoids and polynucleotide have been prepared. The inventive lipidoids may also be used in preparing microparticles for drug delivery. They are particularly useful in delivering labile agents given their ability to buffer the pH of their surroundings.

  • Publication number: 20120009222
    Abstract: The present invention provides lipidoids that can be used to modulate the immune response in a subject. Lipidoids are prepared by the conjugate addition of an amine to an acrylate to acrylamide. The lipidoids form complexes or particles with an immunostimulatory polynucleotide, which are then administerd to a subject. Such compositions have been found to stimulate the production of cytokines and increase both humoral and cell-mediate immune response. The invention also provides pharmaceuti-cal compositions thereof and methods for using the same.
