Compositions of the disclosed polymers are capable of delivering therapeutic agents such as mRNA to lung epithelial cells.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions (e.g., nanoparticles) comprising a conjugated polyethyleneimine (PEI) polymer (a “conjugated lipomer”), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a lipid-PEG conjugate, wherein the conjugated lipomer of Formula (I) contains one or more groups of the formula (iii). Compositions of the invention are useful for the delivery of active agents, for example, for the treatment of disease.
Abstract:
The present invention provides multi-tailed lipid compounds, and salts and stereoisomers thereof, and methods of preparing the compounds. Also provided are compositions including a compound of the invention and an agent (e.g., an siRNA, mRNA, plasmid DNA, small molecule, protein, peptide). The present invention also provides methods, and kits using the compositions for delivering an agent to a subject (e.g., to the liver, spleen, or lung of the subject) or cell and for treating and/or preventing a range of diseases, such as genetic diseases, proliferative diseases, hematological diseases, neurological diseases, immunological diseases, gastrointestinal diseases (e.g., liver diseases), respiratory diseases (e.g., lung diseases), painful conditions, psychiatric disorders, metabolic disorders, and spleen diseases.

Abstract:
Poly(β-amino esters) prepared from the conjugate addition of bis(secondary amines) or primary amines to a bis(acrylate ester) are described. Methods of preparing these polymers from commercially available starting materials are also provided. These tertiary amine-containing polymers are preferably biodegradable and biocompatible and may be used in a variety of drug delivery systems. Given the poly(amine) nature of these polymers, they are particularly suited for the delivery of polynucleotides. Nanoparticles containing polymer/polynucleotide complexes have been prepared. The inventive polymers may also be used to encapsulate other agents to be delivered. They are particularly useful in delivering labile agents given their ability to buffer the pH of their surroundings.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides polyamine-fatty acid derived lipidoids (e.g., compounds of Formula (I) or (II)) and methods of preparing the lipidoids. A described lipidoid includes R—C(═O)—O— moieties (where R is a lipid moiety), which may be hydrolyzed into non-toxic fatty acids. Also provided are compositions including a described lipidoid and an agent (e.g., polynucleotide, small molecule, peptide, or protein). The present disclosure also provides methods, kits, and uses that involve the lipidoids or compositions for delivering an agent to a subject, tissue, or cell and/or for treating and/or preventing a range of diseases, such as genetic diseases, proliferative diseases, hematological diseases, neurological diseases, immunological diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory diseases, painful conditions, psychiatric disorders, and metabolic disorders.
Abstract:
Provided herein are lipidoids that may be prepared from the conjugate addition of alkylamines to acrylates. In some embodiments, provided lipidoids are biodegradable and may be used in a variety of drug delivery systems. Given the amino moiety of the lipidoids, they are well-suited for the delivery of polynucleotides, in addition to other agents. Nanoparticles containing the inventive lipidoids and polynucleotides have been prepared and have been shown to be effective in delivering siRNA.
