Fatty amine synthesis from renewable sources is an energetically-demanding process involving toxic metal catalysts and harsh reaction conditions as well as selectivity problems. Herein we present a mild, biocatalytic alternative to the conventional amination of fatty acids through a one-pot tandem cascade performed by a carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) and a transaminase (ω-TA). Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, with carbon chain lengths ranging from C6 to C18, were successfully aminated obtaining conversions of up to 96%.

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.
