, (2021/04/01)
The application relates to lipids of Formula (A), Formula (B) and Formula (1-1), and to lipid nanoparticles (empty or loaded LNPs) including such a lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, and PEG lipids. Lipid nanoparticles further including therapeutic and/or prophylactics such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactics to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.

The present invention relates to an amphiphilic compound having a dendronic hydrophobic group, a method for preparing the same, and a method for extraction, solubilization, stabilization, or crystallization of a membrane protein by using the same. The use of the compound according to the present invention leads to an excellent membrane protein solubilization effect and a stable storage of a membrane protein in an aqueous solution for a long time, and thus can be utilized for functional analysis and structural analysis of the membrane protein. Especially, the amphiphilic compound having a dendronic hydrophobic group showed very remarkable characteristics in the visualization of protein composites through an electronic microscope. The membrane protein structural and functional analysis is one of the fields of greatest interest in current biology and chemistry, and more than half of the new drugs that are currently being developed are targeted at membrane proteins, and thus the amphiphilic compound of the present invention can be applied to membrane protein structure studies closely related to the development of new drugs.

The dimensionality of self-assembled nanostructures plays an essential role for their properties and applications. Herein, an understanding of the transition from weakly to strongly coupled layers in soft matter systems is provided involving in-plane organized π-conjugated rods. For this purpose, bolaamphiphilic triblock molecules consisting of a rigid biphenyl core, polar glycerol groups at the ends, and a branched (swallow-tail) or linear alkyl or semiperfluoroalkyl chain in lateral position have been synthesized and investigated. Besides weakly coupled lamellar isotropic (LamIso), lamellar nematic (LamN) and sliding lamellar smectic phases (LamSm), a sequence of three distinct types of strongly coupled (correlated) lamellar smectic phases with either centered (c2mm) or non-centered rectangular (p2mm) lattice and an intermediate oblique lattices (p2) were observed depending on chain length, chain branching and degree of chain fluorination. This new sequence is explained by the strengthening of the layer coupling and the competition between energetic packing constraints and the entropic contribution of either longitudinal or tangential fluctuations. This example of directed side chain engineering of small generic model compounds provides general clues for morphological design of two-dimensional and three-dimensionally coupled lamellar systems involving larger π-conjugated molecular rods and molecular or supramolecular polymers, being of actual interest in organic electronics and nanotechnology.

Modification of the molecular structure of surfactants is an effective method for exploring their self-assembly. A double-tailed quaternary ammonium surfactant with a protrudent head group, namely 2-octyldecyltrimethylammonium bromide (2-ODTAB) was synthesized, and the solution properties were investigated by surface tension, dynamic light scattering, and cryogenic TEM. A comparative study was also performed on the traditional double-tailed homologue surfactants dioctyldimethylammonium bromide (8-8), didecyldimethylammonium bromide (10-10), and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (12-12). The results showed that 2-ODTAB was more effective at lowering surface tension and in forming stable vesicles than traditional double-tailed surfactants with similar alkyl chain length. The reason is attributed to the improved structure of 2-ODTAB, in which the two alkyl tails are connected to the ionic head group by one carbon atom. This structure imparts more freedom to the head group and thus favors formation of more stable aggregates at low concentration. In addition, the lower limit of the alkyl chain length of the double-tailed surfactants for forming stable vesicles was illustrated.
