Abstract The advancement of message RNA (mRNA) ‐based immunotherapies for cancer is highly dependent on the effective delivery (Ribonucleic) payloads using ionizable lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). However, clinical application these therapies hindered by variable mRNA expression among different types and risk systemic toxicity. transient profile further complicates this issue, necessitating frequent dosing thus increasing potential adverse effects. Addressing challenges, a high‐throughput combinatorial method utilized to synthesize screen LNPs that efficiently deliver circular (circRNA) lung tumors. lead LNP, H1L1A1B3, demonstrates fourfold increase in circRNA transfection efficiency cells over ALC‐0315, industry‐standard LNPs, while providing potent immune activation. A single intratumoral injection H1L1A1B3 loaded with encoding interleukin‐12 (IL‐12), induces robust response Lewis carcinoma model, leading marked tumor regression. Immunological profiling treated tumors reveals substantial increments CD45 + leukocytes enhances infiltration CD8 T cells, underscoring ability modulate microenvironment favorably.

The ionizable lipid component of nanoparticle (LNP) formulations is essential for mRNA delivery by facilitating endosomal escape. Conventionally, these lipids are synthesized through complex, multistep chemical processes that both time-consuming and require significant engineering. Furthermore, the development new hindered a limited understanding structure-activity relationships effective delivery. In this work, we have developed modular platform utilizing Passerini reaction to rapidly generate large, chemically diverse libraries biodegradable lipids. This high-throughput approach enables systematic exploration various components–head groups, tails, spacers–and their impacts on efficiency. By investigating hydrogen bonding potential between lipid’s head groups mRNA’s ribose phosphate found optimizing methylene units linkages could enhance escape and, consequently, efficiencies. Leveraging insight, our has led identification A4B4-S3, which outperforms current clinical benchmark, SM-102, in gene editing efficacy mouse liver following systemic administration demonstrates promise repeat-dose protein replacement treatments. work not only offers rapid, scalable method synthesis but also deepens relationships, paving way more therapeutics.

The rise of biologics and RNA-based therapies challenges the limitations traditional drug treatments. However, these potent new classes therapeutics require effective delivery systems to reach their full potential. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have emerged as a promising solution for RNA delivery, but endosomal entrapment remains critical barrier. In contrast, natural extracellular vesicles (EVs) possess innate mechanisms overcome degradation, demonstrating superior escape (EE) compared conventional LNPs.
