  • Publication number: 20250034080
    Abstract: A novel type of cationic lipid and PEGylated derivative thereof, a cationic liposome and a cationic liposome-nucleic acid pharmaceutical composition containing the cationic lipid and formulation thereof include an ionizable lipid compound of the general formula (1). This compound is slightly ionized or neutral at physiological pH but undergoes greater ionization under acidic conditions, exhibiting lower toxicity in the systemic circulation and improved endosomal escape ability. The compound's polar head contains an ionizable tertiary amine group along with a side chain containing functional groups, while the tail chains may include linking groups that are easily degraded. Cationic liposomes containing the compound have a better ability to complex with nucleic acid drugs, higher stability in serum, no apparent cytotoxicity, and high transfection efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240197633
    Abstract: A novel PEGylated lipid and preparation methods thereof, a cationic liposome containing the PEGylated lipid, a pharmaceutical composition containing the liposome, a formulation and application thereof. The PEGylated lipid can be used for modifying a liposome, and it can be further modified and coupled with a targeting group, and then used for modifying a liposome to obtain a liposome with the targeting group. Due to the presence of a long-chain PEG and the targeting group on the lipid, the modified liposome can avoid being removed by the reticuloendothelial system in a human body and realize a targeting function. Therefore, when the modified liposome delivers an active drug to cells or a patient, especially when delivering a nucleic acid or anti-tumor drug, the liposome can realize long circulation in vivo and improve the transport efficiency of drug, and has a targeting unction so the therapeutic effect of a drug is improved.
