脂質(zhì)納米顆粒（LNP）在mRNA疫苗的創(chuàng)建和批準(zhǔn)中發(fā)揮了重要作用。輝瑞公司的疫苗 BNT162b2 中使用的脂質(zhì)之一是 ALC-0315。

ALC-0315是一種氨基脂質(zhì)，其叔胺通過酯鍵與支鏈尾相連。叔胺允許脂質(zhì)形成兩性離子脂質(zhì)。ALC-0315是一種無色油性化合物，分子量為766.3，CAS號為2036272-55-4 IUPAC名稱為[（4-羥基丁基）氮雜二基]二（己烷-6,1-二基）雙（2-己基癸酸酯）。

ALC-0315因其快速清除率、耐受性、免疫原性和蛋白表達(dá)而成為理想的藥物載體。雖然ALC-0315可溶于有機(jī)溶劑，但懸浮在極性溶劑中時(shí)會形成膜。叔胺與mRNA形成離子鍵，允許mRNA有效載荷的理想封裝。ALC-0315在生理pH下保持中性，并在酸性環(huán)境中帶正電荷。這種在生理pH下保持中性的特性允許脂質(zhì)與血細(xì)胞陰離子膜的相互作用更少。ALC-0315帶正電荷的能力在細(xì)胞攝取后起著重要作用。當(dāng)ALC-0315與酸性內(nèi)體相互作用時(shí)，叔胺變成質(zhì)子化并形成錐形離子對，驅(qū)動(dòng)從雙層到倒六邊形相的轉(zhuǎn)變。這個(gè)階段促進(jìn)內(nèi)體逃逸和mRNA釋放到細(xì)胞質(zhì)中。一旦mRNA被釋放，ALC-0315通過兩個(gè)連續(xù)的酯水解反應(yīng)代謝，首先產(chǎn)生單酯代謝物，然后產(chǎn)生雙重脫酯代謝物。兩種水解反應(yīng)的產(chǎn)物是6-己基癸酸。剩余的脂肪族頭組通過膽道和腎臟清除消除。

隨著納米顆粒藥物遞送技術(shù)的最新進(jìn)展，科學(xué)界正處于許多新療法的邊緣。為了進(jìn)一步增強(qiáng)藥物輸送能力，BroadPharm（國內(nèi)客戶聯(lián)系靶點(diǎn)科技）提供了廣泛的可電離脂質(zhì)、陽離子脂質(zhì)、PEG 脂質(zhì)和磷脂選擇。BroadPharm（國內(nèi)客戶聯(lián)系靶點(diǎn)科技）還提供定制的脂質(zhì)合成，以進(jìn)一步滿足您的研究需求。

英文介紹：

Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) have played an important role in the creation and approval of mRNA vaccines. One of the more notable lipids found in Pfizer’s vaccine BNT162b2 is ALC- 0315.

ALC-0315 is an amino lipid with a tertiary amine linked with a branched tail through ester bonds. The tertiary amine allows the lipid to form a zwitterionic lipid. ALC-0315 is a colorless oily compound with a molecular weight of 766.3 and a CAS number of 2036272-55-4 IUPAC name is [(4-Hydroxybutyl)azanediyl]di(hexane-6,1-diyl) bis(2-hexyldecanoate).

ALC-0315 can be synthesized through the route as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Shows the synthesis route of ALC-0315.

ALC-0315 is an ideal drug carrier due to its fast clearance rate, tolerability, immunogenicity, and protein expression. While ALC-0315 is soluble in organic solvents, it forms a membrane when suspended in polar solvents. The tertiary amine forms an ionic bond to mRNA allowing for ideal encapsulation of the mRNA payload. ALC-0315 remains neutral at physiological pH and takes on a positive charge in an acidic environment. This property to stay neutral at physiological pH allows the lipid to have fewer interactions with the anionic membranes of blood cells. ALC- 0315’s ability to take on a positive charge plays an important role after cellular uptake. When ALC-0315 interacts with the acidic endosome, the tertiary amine becomes protonated and forms cone-shaped ion pairs that drive the transition from a bilayer to an inverted hexagon phase. This phase promotes endosomal escape and the release of the mRNA into the cytosol. Once the mRNA is released, ALC-0315 is metabolized through two sequential ester hydrolysis reactions first yielding the monoester metabolite followed by the doubly de-esterified metabolite. The product of both hydrolysis reactions is 6-hexyldecanoic acid. The remaining aliphatic head group is eliminated via biliary and renal clearance.
