Abstract
The present disclosure provides a lipid nanoparticle for extrahepatic delivery of mRNA, the lipid nanoparticle comprising: (i) mRNA cargo; (ii) a phosphatidylcholine lipid content of from mol % to 70 mol %; (iii) a ionizable, cationic lipid content of from 5 mol % to 50 mol %; (iv) a sterol selected from cholesterol or a derivative thereof; and (v) a hydrophilic polymer-lipid conjugate that is present at a lipid content of 0.5 mol % to 5 mol. Further provided is a lipid nanoparticle preparation comprising lipid nanoparticles having encapsulated mRNA and 20 to mol % of a phosphatidylcholine lipid, an ionizable lipid; and at least one of a sterol and a hydrophilic polymer-lipid conjugate, the lipid nanoparticles exhibiting at least a 10% increase in gene expression of the mRNA in vivo as measured in one or more extrahepatic organs or tissues. The lipid nanoparticles have an electron dense region and a nitrogen-to-phosphate charge ratio of between 4 and 15.
