We report a potent cationic lipid, SST-02 ((3-hydroxylpropyl)dilinoleylamine), which possesses a simple chemical structure and is synthesized just in one step. Cationic lipids are key components of siRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNP), which may serve as potential therapeutic agents for various diseases. For a decade, chemists have given enhanced potency and new functions to cationic lipids along with structural complexity. In this study, we conducted a medicinal chemistry campaign pursuing chemical simplicity and found that even dilinoleylmethylamine (SST-01) and methylpalmitoleylamine could be used for the in vitro and in vivo siRNA delivery. Further optimization revealed that a hydroxyl group boosted potency, and SST-02 showed an ID50 of 0.02 mg/kg in the factor VII (FVII) model. Rats administered with 3 mg/kg of SST-02 LNP did not show changes in body weight, blood chemistry, or hematological parameters, while the AST level decreased at a dose of 5 mg/kg. The use of SST-02 avoids a lengthy synthetic route and may thus decrease the future cost of nucleic acid therapeutics.

The intracellular delivery of nucleic acid molecules is a complex process involving several distinct steps; among these the endosomal escape appeared to be of particular importance for an efficient protein production (or inhibition) into host cells. In the present study, a new series of ionizable vectors, derived from naturally occurring aminoglycoside tobramycin, was prepared using improved synthetic procedures that allow structural variations on the linker and hydrophobic domain levels. Complexes formed between the new ionizable lipids and mRNA, DNA, or siRNA were characterized by cryo-TEM experiments and their transfection potency was evaluated using different cell types. We demonstrated that lead molecule 30, bearing a biodegradable diester linker, formed small complexes with nucleic acids and provided very high transfection efficiency with all nucleic acids and cell types tested. The obtained results suggested that the improved and "universal" delivery properties of 30 resulted from an optimized endosomal escape, through the lipid-mixing mechanism.
