[0004] BACKGROUND

[0005] The effective targeted delivery of biologically active substances such as small molecule drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids represents a continuing medical challenge. In particular, the delivery of nucleic acids to cells is made difficult by their relative instability and low cell permeability. Thus, there exists a need to develop methods and compositions to facilitate the delivery of therapeutic and / or prophylactics, such as nucleic acids, to cells.

[0006] Lipid-containing nanoparticle compositions, liposomes, and lipoplexes can be effective transport vehicles into cells and / or intracellular compartments for biologically active substances such as small molecule drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids. Such compositions generally include one or more cationic and / or ionizable lipids, phospholipids including polyunsaturated lipids, structural lipids (e.g., sterols), and / or lipids containing polyethylene glycol (PEG lipids). There is a need to develop lipidoids useful in lipid-nanoparticle compositions that can deliver therapeutic agents, such as nucleic acid molecules, proteins, and small molecule drugs with safety, efficacy, and specificity.

[0313] In some embodiments, the average particle diameter of the lipid-based carrier (or lipid nanoformulation) may be between 10s of nm and 100s of nm, e.g., measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). In some embodiments, the average particle diameter of the lipid-based carrier (or lipid nanoformulation) ranges from about 1 mm to about 500 mm, from about 5 mm to about 200 mm, from about 10 mm to about 100 mm, from about 20 mm to about 80 mm, from about 25 mm to about 60 mm, from about 30 mm to about 55 mm, from about 35 mm to about 50 mm, from about 38 mm to about 42 mm, from about 40 nm to about 150 nm (such as about 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, 105 nm, 110 nm, 115 nm, 120 nm, 125 nm, 130 nm, 135 nm, 140 nm, 145 nm, or 150 nm), from about 50 nm to about 100 nm, from about 50 nm to about 90 nm, from about 50 nm to about 80 nm, from about 50 nm to about 70 nm, from about 50 nm to about 60 nm, from about 60 nm to about 100 nm, from about 60 nm to about 90 nm, from about 60 nm to about 80 nm, from about 60 nm to about 70 nm, from about 70 nm to about 100 nm, from about 70 nm to about 90 nm, from about 70 nm to about 80 nm, from about 80 nm to about 100 nm, from about 80 nm to about 90 nm, or from about 90 nm to about 100 nm.

[0314] The lipid-based carrier or lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) may, in some instances, be relatively homogenous. A polydispersity index may be used to indicate the homogeneity of a lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP), e.g., the particle size distribution of the liposome or LNP. A small (e.g., less than 0.3) polydispersity index generally indicates a narrow particle size distribution. A lipid-based carrier or lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) may have a polydispersity index from about 0 to about 0.25, such as 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.10, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.20, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, or 0.25. In some embodiments, the polydispersity index of the lipid-based carrier or lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) may be from about 0.10 to about 0.20.

[0315] The zeta potential of a lipid-based carrier or a lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) may be used to indicate the electrokinetic potential of the composition. In some embodiments, the zeta potential may describe the surface charge of a liposome or LNP. Lipid nanoformulations (e.g., liposomes or LNP) with relatively low charges, positive or negative, are generally desirable, as more highly charged species may interact undesirably with cells, tissues, and other elements in the body. In some embodiments, the zeta potential of a liposome or LNP may be from about -10 mV to about +20 mV, from about -10 mV to about +15 mV, from about -10 mV to about +10 mV, from about -10 mV to about +5 mV, from about -10 mV to about 0 mV, from about -10 mV to about -5 mV, from about -5 mV to about +20 mV, from about -5 mV to about +15 mV, from about -5 mV to about +10 mV, from about -5 mV to about +5 mV, from about -5 mV to about 0 mV, from about 0 mV to about +20 mV, from about 0 mV to about +15 mV, from about 0 mV to about +10 mV, from about 0 mV to about +5 mV, from about +5 mV to about +20 mV, from about +5 mV to about +15 mV, or from about +5 mV to about +10 mV.

[0316] The efficiency of encapsulation of a cargo such as a protein and / or nucleic acid, describes the amount of protein and / or nucleic acid that is encapsulated or otherwise associated with a lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) after preparation, relative to the initial amount provided. The encapsulation efficiency is desirably high (e.g., at least 70%. 80%. 90%. 95%, close to 100%). The encapsulation efficiency may be measured, for example, by comparing the amount of protein or nucleic acid in a solution containing the liposome or LNP before and after breaking up the liposome or LNP with one or more organic solvents or detergents. An anion exchange resin may be used to measure the amount of free protein or nucleic acid (e.g., RNA) in a solution. Fluorescence may be used to measure the amount of free protein and / or nucleic acid (e.g., RNA) in a solution. For the liposome or LNP described herein, the encapsulation efficiency of a protein and / or nucleic acid may be at least 50%, for example 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%. In some embodiments, the encapsulation efficiency may be at least 80%. In some embodiments, the encapsulation efficiency may be at least 90%. In some embodiments, the encapsulation efficiency may be at least 95%. The lipid carrier or lipid nanoformulation may optionally include one or more coatings. In some embodiments, the lipid carrier or lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) may be formulated in a capsule, film, or tablet having a coating. A capsule, film, or tablet including a composition described herein may have any useful size, tensile strength, hardness, or density.

[0318] In some embodiments, in vitro or ex vivo cell lipofections are performed using Lipofectamine MessengerMax (Thermo Fisher) or TransIT-mRNA Transfection Reagent (Mirus Bio). In certain embodiments, LNPs are formulated using the GenVoy_ILM ionizable lipid mix (Precision NanoSystems). In certain embodiments, LNPs are formulated using 2,2-dilinoleyl-4-dimethylaminoethyl-[l,3]-dioxolane (DLin-KC2- DMA) or dilinoleylmethyl-4-dimethylaminobutyrate (DLin-MC3-DMA or MC3), the formulation and in vivo use of which are taught in Jayaraman et al.

Ostro, ed., Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, 1983, Chapter 1; and Hope, et al., Chem. Phys. Lip. 40:89 (1986), which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Small unilamellar vesicles (SUV, size <100 nm) can be prepared by a combination of standard methods of thin-film hydration and repeated extrusion.

[0322] Techniques for sizing the lipid carrier or lipid nanoformulations (e.g., liposomes or LNPs) to a desired size are well-known to one skilled in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Patent No. 4,737,323, and Hope et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 812: 55-65, which are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Sonicating a lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) suspension either by bath or probe sonication produces a progressive size reduction down to small unilamellar vesicles less than about 50 nm in size. Homogenization or microfluidization are other methods which rely on shearing energy to fragment large lipid nanoformulations (e.g., liposomes or LNPs) into smaller ones. In a typical homogenization procedure, multilamellar vesicles are recirculated through a standard emulsion homogenizer until selected lipid nanoformulation (e.g., liposome or LNP) sizes, typically between about 100 and 500 nm, are observed. In both methods, the particle size distribution can be monitored by conventional laser-beam particle size discrimination.

[0323] Extrusion of lipid nanoformulations (e.g., liposomes or LNPs) through a smallpore polycarbonate membrane or an asymmetric ceramic membrane is a very effective method for reducing liposome or LNP sizes to a relatively well- defined size distribution. Typically, the suspension is cycled through the membrane one or more times until the desired liposome or LNP size distribution is achieved. The lipid-based carrier or lipid nanoformulations may be extruded through successively smaller-pore membranes, to achieve a gradual reduction in liposome or LNP size.

[0324] Any of the lipid-based carrier or lipid nanoformulations described herein can be analyzed by methods well-known to one skilled in the art to determine its physical and / or chemical features. For example, a phosphate assay can be used to determine the concentration of the lipid nanoformulations. One phosphate assay is based on the interaction between molybdate and malachite green dye. The main principle involves the reaction of inorganic phosphate with molybdate to form a colorless unreduced phosphomolybdate complex which is converted to a blue colored complex when reduced under acidic conditions. Phosphomolybdate gives 20 or 30 times more color when complexed with malachite green. The final product, reduced green soluble complex is measured by its absorbance at 620 nm and is a direct measure of inorganic phosphate in solution.

[0325] In some embodiments, the lipid-based carrier or lipid nanoformulations disclosed herein are tested for particle size, lipid concentration, and active agent encapsulation.

[0344] In some embodiments, the nanoparticle composition can include a plurality of small molecule drugs, which may be the same or different types.

[0345] In some embodiments, the therapeutic agent may be encapsulated in the LNP. For example, the therapeutic agent may be completely or partially located in the interior space of the LNPs, within the lipid layer / membrane, or associated with the exterior surface of the lipid layer / membrane. In some embodiments, incorporation of the therapeutic agent into the LNP protects the therapeutic agents from environments which may contain enzymes or chemicals or conditions that degrade the therapeutic agents and / or systems or receptors that cause the rapid excretion of the therapeutic agents. Moreover, incorporating the therapeutic agent into the LNP may promote uptake of the therapeutic agent, and hence, may enhance the therapeutic effect.

[0346] The ratio of total lipid and lipidoid components to the therapeutic agent can be varied as desired. For example, the total lipid and lipidoid components to the therapeutic agent (mass or weight) ratio can be from about 10: 1 to about 30: 1. In some embodiments, the total lipid and lipidoid components to the therapeutic agent ratio (mass / mass ratio; w / w ratio) can be in the range of from about 1:1 to about 25:1, from about 10:1 to about 14:1, from about 3:1 to about 15:1, from about 4:1 to about 10:1, from about 5:1 to about 9:1, or about 6:1 to about 9:1. The amounts of total lipid and lipidoid components and the therapeutic agent can be adjusted to provide a desired N:P ratio, for example, N:P ratio of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, or higher. Generally, the overall lipid and lipidoid content can range from about 5 mg / mL to about 30 mg / mL in the nanoparticle composition.

[0347] The nanoparticle composition may contain about 5 to about 95% by weight of the therapeutic agent. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle composition contains about 5%, about 10%, about 20, about 30, about 40, about 50, about 60, about 70, about 80, about 90, or about 95% by weight of the therapeutic agent.

[0348] In certain embodiments, the nanoparticle composition further comprises an antigen; wherein the antigen is a protein or a nucleic acid; the antigen is a protein; or the antigen is a nucleic acid.

[0349] In further embodiments, the nanoparticle composition further comprises an mRNA molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes an antigen.

Accordingly, in certain embodiments, provided herein is a method of delivering a therapeutic agent, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of the nanoparticle composition of the invention that comprises a therapeutic agent.

[0351] The nanoparticle compositions described herein are useful for delivering an antigen. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, provided herein is a method of vaccination, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a nanoparticle composition of the invention, wherein the nanoparticle composition comprises an antigen.

[0352] Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0353] In certain aspects, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a nanoparticle composition of the invention, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0354] As used throughout this section, a “lipidoid composition” can refer to a nanoparticle composition comprising a lipidoid compound, e.g., a lipidoid compound of the invention.

[0355] The compositions and methods of the present invention may be utilized to treat an individual in need thereof. The pharmaceutical composition described herein may comprise a therapeutic or prophylactic composition, or any combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the individual is a mammal such as a human, or a non-human mammal. When administered to an animal, such as a human, the nanoparticle composition or the lipidoid composition is preferably administered as a pharmaceutical composition comprising, for example, a lipidoid composition and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are well known in the art and include, for example, aqueous solutions such as water or physiologically buffered saline or other solvents or vehicles such as glycols, glycerol, oils such as olive oil, or injectable organic esters. In preferred embodiments, when such pharmaceutical compositions are for human administration, particularly for invasive routes of administration (i.e., routes, such as injection or implantation, that circumvent transport or diffusion through an epithelial barrier), the aqueous solution is pyrogen-free, or substantially pyrogen-free. The excipients can be chosen, for example, to effect delayed release of an agent or to selectively target one or more cells, tissues or organs. The pharmaceutical composition can be in dosage unit form such as tablet, capsule (including sprinkle capsule and gelatin capsule), granule, lyophile for reconstitution, powder, solution, syrup, suppository, injection or the like. The composition can also be present in a transdermal delivery system, e.g., a skin patch. The composition can also be present in a solution suitable for topical administration, such as a lotion, cream, or ointment.

[0356] A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier can contain physiologically acceptable agents that act, for example, to stabilize, increase solubility or to increase the absorption of a lipidoid composition. Such physiologically acceptable agents include, for example, carbohydrates, such as glucose, sucrose or dextrans, antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid or glutathione, chelating agents, low molecular weight proteins or other stabilizers or excipients. The choice of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, including a physiologically acceptable agent, depends, for example, on the route of administration of the composition. The preparation or pharmaceutical composition can be a selfemulsifying drug delivery system or a self-microemulsifying drug delivery system. The pharmaceutical composition (preparation) also can be a liposome or other polymer matrix, which can have incorporated therein, for example, a lipidoid composition. Liposomes, for example, which comprise phospholipids or other lipids, are nontoxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable carriers that are relatively simple to make and administer.

[0357] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" is employed herein to refer to those lipidoid compositions, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and animals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0358] The phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" as used herein means a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include: (1) sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; (2) starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; (3) cellulose, and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; (4) powdered tragacanth; (5) malt; (6) gelatin; (7) talc; (8) excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; (9) oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; (10) glycols, such as propylene glycol; (11) polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; (12) esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; (13) agar; (14) buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; (15) alginic acid; (16) pyrogen- free water; (17) isotonic saline; (18) Ringer's solution; (19) ethyl alcohol; (20) phosphate buffer solutions; and (21) other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations.

[0359] A pharmaceutical composition (preparation) can be administered to a subject by any of a number of routes of administration including, for example, orally (for example, drenches as in aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions, tablets, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), boluses, powders, granules, pastes for application to the tongue); absorption through the oral mucosa (e.g., sublingually); subcutaneously; transdermally (for example as a patch applied to the skin); and topically (for example, as a cream, ointment or spray applied to the skin). The lipidoid composition may also be formulated for inhalation. In certain embodiments, a lipidoid composition may be simply dissolved or suspended in sterile water. Details of appropriate routes of administration and compositions suitable for same can be found in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,110,973, 5,763,493, 5,731,000, 5,541,231, 5,427,798, 5,358,970 and 4,172,896, as well as in patents cited therein.

[0360] The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any methods well known in the art of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient which can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host being treated, the particular mode of administration. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to produce a single dosage form will generally be that amount of the lipidoid composition which produces a therapeutic effect. Generally, out of one hundred percent, this amount will range from about 1 percent to about ninety-nine percent of active ingredient, preferably from about 5 percent to about 70 percent, most preferably from about 10 percent to about 30 percent.

[0361] Methods of preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of bringing into association an active composition, such as a lipidoid (e.g., nanoparticle) composition as described herein, with the carrier and, optionally, one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association a lipidoid (e.g., nanoparticle) composition as described herein with liquid carriers, or finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product.

[0362] Formulations of the invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored basis, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), lyophile, powders, granules, or as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid, or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil liquid emulsion, or as an elixir or syrup, or as pastilles (using an inert base, such as gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia) and / or as mouth washes and the like, each containing a predetermined amount of a lipidoid (e.g., nanoparticle) composition as described herein of the present invention as an active ingredient. Lipidoid compositions may also be administered as a bolus, electuary or paste.

[0363] To prepare solid dosage forms for oral administration (capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets, pills, dragees, powders, granules and the like), the active ingredient is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or any of the following: (1) fillers or extenders, such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicic acid; (2) binders, such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sucrose and / or acacia; (3) humectants, such as glycerol; (4) disintegrating agents, such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (5) solution retarding agents, such as paraffin; (6) absorption accelerators, such as quaternary ammonium lipidoid compositions; (7) wetting agents, such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (8) absorbents, such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (9) lubricants, such a talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; (10) complexing agents, such as, modified and unmodified cyclodextrins; and (11) coloring agents. In the case of capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise buffering agents. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugars, as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

[0364] A tablet may be made by compression or molding, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets may be prepared using binder (for example, gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), lubricant, inert diluent, preservative, disintegrant (for example, sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), surface-active or dispersing agent. Molded tablets may be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered lipidoid composition moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

[0365] The tablets, and other solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions, such as dragees, capsules (including sprinkle capsules and gelatin capsules), pills and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical-formulating art. They may also be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose in varying proportions to provide the desired release profile, other polymer matrices, liposomes and / or microspheres. They may be sterilized by, for example, filtration through a bacteria- retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions that can be dissolved in sterile water, or some other sterile injectable medium immediately before use. These compositions may also optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain portion of the gastrointestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. The active ingredient can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-described excipients.

[0366] Liquid dosage forms useful for oral administration include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, lyophiles for reconstitution, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, cyclodextrins and derivatives thereof, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.

[0367] Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents.

[0368] Suspensions, in addition to the active lipidoid compositions, may contain suspending agents as, for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.

[0369] Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and inhalants. The active lipidoid composition may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants that may be required.

[0370] The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active lipidoid composition, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.

[0371] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to an active lipidoid composition, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.

[0372] Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a lipidoid composition to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the active lipidoid composition in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the lipidoid composition across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the lipidoid composition in a polymer matrix or gel. The phrases "parenteral administration" and "administered parenterally" as used herein means modes of administration other than enteral and topical administration, usually by injection, and includes, without limitation, intravenous, intramuscular, intraarterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subcuticular, intraarticular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal and intrastemal injection and infusion. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for parenteral administration comprise one or more active lipidoid compositions in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.

[0373] Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers that may be employed in the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.

[0374] These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents that delay absorption such as aluminum mono stearate and gelatin.

[0375] In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[0376] Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsulated matrices of the lipidoid compositions in biodegradable polymers such as poly lactide-poly glycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer, and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissue.

[0377] For use in the methods of this invention, active lipidoid compositions can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99.5% (more preferably, 0.5 to 90%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

[0378] Methods of introduction may also be provided by rechargeable or biodegradable devices. Various slow release polymeric devices have been developed and tested in vivo in recent years for the controlled delivery of drugs, including proteinaceous biopharmaceuticals. A variety of biocompatible polymers (including hydrogels), including both biodegradable and non-degradable polymers, can be used to form an implant for the sustained release of a lipidoid composition at a particular target site.

[0379] Actual dosage levels of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical compositions may be varied so as to obtain an amount of the active ingredient that is effective to achieve the desired therapeutic response for a particular patient, composition, and mode of administration, without being toxic to the patient.

[0380] The selected dosage level will depend upon a variety of factors including the activity of the particular lipidoid composition or combination of lipidoid compositions employed, or the ester, salt or amide thereof, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the particular lipidoid composition(s) being employed, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, lipidoid compositions and / or materials used in combination with the particular lipidoid composition(s) employed, the age, sex, weight, condition, general health and prior medical history of the patient being treated, and like factors well known in the medical arts.

[0381] A physician or veterinarian having ordinary skill in the art can readily determine and prescribe the therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition required. For example, the physician or veterinarian could start doses of the pharmaceutical composition or lipidoid composition at levels lower than that required in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. By “therapeutically effective amount” is meant the concentration of a lipidoid composition that is sufficient to elicit the desired therapeutic effect. It is generally understood that the effective amount of the lipidoid composition will vary according to the weight, sex, age, and medical history of the subject. Other factors which influence the effective amount may include, but are not limited to, the severity of the patient's condition, the disorder being treated, the stability of the lipidoid composition, and, if desired, another type of therapeutic agent being administered with the lipidoid composition of the invention. A larger total dose can be delivered by multiple administrations of the agent. Methods to determine efficacy and dosage are known to those skilled in the art (Isselbacher et al. (1996) Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine 13 ed., 1814-1882, herein incorporated by reference).

[0382] In general, a suitable daily dose of an active lipidoid composition used in the compositions and methods of the invention will be that amount of the lipidoid composition that is the lowest dose effective to produce a therapeutic effect. Such an effective dose will generally depend upon the factors described above.

[0383] If desired, the effective daily dose of the active lipidoid composition may be administered as one, two, three, four, five, six or more sub-doses administered separately at appropriate intervals throughout the day, optionally, in unit dosage forms. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the active lipidoid composition may be administered two or three times daily. In preferred embodiments, the active lipidoid composition will be administered once daily.

[0384] The patient receiving this treatment is any animal in need, including primates, in particular humans; and other mammals such as equines, cattle, swine, sheep, cats, and dogs; poultry; and pets in general.

[0385] In certain embodiments, lipidoid compositions of the invention may be used alone or conjointly administered with another type of therapeutic agent.

[0389] Definitions

[0390] Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific and technical terms used in this application shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Generally, nomenclature used in connection with, and techniques of, chemistry, cell and tissue culture, molecular biology, cell and cancer biology, neurobiology, neurochemistry, virology, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, genetics and protein and nucleic acid chemistry, described herein, are those well-known and commonly used in the art.

[0391] The methods and techniques of the present disclosure are generally performed, unless otherwise indicated, according to conventional methods well known in the art and as described in various general and more specific references that are cited and discussed throughout this specification. See, e.g. “Principles of Neural Science”, McGraw-Hill Medical, New York, N.Y. (2000); Motulsky, “Intuitive Biostatistics”, Oxford University Press, Inc. (1995); Lodish et al., “Molecular Cell Biology, 4th ed.”, W. H. Freeman & Co., New York (2000); Griffiths et al., “Introduction to Genetic Analysis, 7th ed.”, W. H. Freeman & Co., N.Y. (1999); and Gilbert et al., “Developmental Biology, 6th ed.”, Sinauer Associates, Inc., Sunderland, MA (2000).

[0392] Chemistry terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, are used according to conventional usage in the art, as exemplified by “The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms”, Parker S., Ed., McGraw-Hill, San Francisco, C.A. (1985).

[0393] All of the above, and any other publications, patents and published patent applications referred to in this application are specifically incorporated by reference herein. In case of conflict, the present specification, including its specific definitions, will control.

[0394] The term “agent” is used herein to denote a chemical compound (such as an organic or inorganic compound, a mixture of chemical compounds), a biological macromolecule (such as a nucleic acid, an antibody, including parts thereof as well as humanized, chimeric and human antibodies and monoclonal antibodies, a protein or portion thereof, e.g., a peptide, a lipid, a carbohydrate), or an extract made from biological materials such as bacteria, plants, fungi, or animal (particularly mammalian) cells or tissues. Agents include, for example, agents whose structure is known, and those whose structure is not known.

[0395] A “patient,” “subject,” or “individual” are used interchangeably and refer to either a human or a non-human animal. These terms include mammals, such as humans, primates, livestock animals (including bovines, porcines, etc.), companion animals (e.g., canines, felines, etc.) and rodents (e.g., mice and rats).

[0396] “Treating” a condition or patient refers to taking steps to obtain beneficial or desired results, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results can include, but are not limited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, diminishment of extent of disease, stabilized (i.e. not worsening) state of disease, preventing spread of disease, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, and remission (whether partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable. “Treatment” can also mean prolonging survival as compared to expected survival if not receiving treatment.

[0397] The term “preventing” is art-recognized, and when used in relation to a condition, such as a local recurrence (e.g., pain), a disease such as cancer, a syndrome complex such as heart failure or any other medical condition, is well understood in the art, and includes administration of a composition which reduces the frequency of, or delays the onset of, symptoms of a medical condition in a subject relative to a subject which does not receive the composition. Thus, prevention of cancer includes, for example, reducing the number of detectable cancerous growths in a population of patients receiving a prophylactic treatment relative to an untreated control population, and / or delaying the appearance of detectable cancerous growths in a treated population versus an untreated control population, e.g., by a statistically and / or clinically significant amount.

[0398] “Administering” or “administration of’ a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject can be carried out using one of a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, a compound or an agent can be administered, intravenously, arterially, intradermally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, ocularly, sublingually, orally (by ingestion), intranasally (by inhalation), intraspinally, intracerebrally, and transdermally (by absorption, e.g., through a skin duct). A compound or agent can also appropriately be introduced by rechargeable or biodegradable polymeric devices or other devices, e.g., patches and pumps, or formulations, which provide for the extended, slow or controlled release of the compound or agent. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and / or over one or more extended periods.

[0399] Appropriate methods of administering a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject will also depend, for example, on the age and / or the physical condition of the subject and the chemical and biological properties of the compound or agent (e.g., solubility, digestibility, bioavailability, stability and toxicity). In some embodiments, a compound or an agent is administered orally, e.g., to a subject by ingestion. In some embodiments, the orally administered compound or agent is in an extended release or slow release formulation, or administered using a device for such slow or extended release.

[0400] As used herein, the phrase “conjoint administration” refers to any form of administration of two or more different therapeutic agents such that the second agent is administered while the previously administered therapeutic agent is still effective in the body (e.g., the two agents are simultaneously effective in the patient, which may include synergistic effects of the two agents). For example, the different therapeutic compounds can be administered either in the same formulation or in separate formulations, either concomitantly or sequentially. Thus, an individual who receives such treatment can benefit from a combined effect of different therapeutic agents.

[0401] A “therapeutically effective amount” or a “therapeutically effective dose” of a drug or agent is an amount of a drug or an agent that, when administered to a subject will have the intended therapeutic effect. The full therapeutic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a therapeutically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. The precise effective amount needed for a subject will depend upon, for example, the subject’s size, health and age, and the nature and extent of the condition being treated, such as cancer or a viral infection. The skilled worker can readily determine the effective amount for a given situation by routine experimentation.

[0402] As used herein, the terms “optional” or “optionally” mean that the subsequently described event or circumstance may occur or may not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs as well as instances in which it does not.

Either the mono or di-acid salts can be formed, and such salts may exist in either a hydrated, solvated or substantially anhydrous form. In general, the acid addition salts of compounds of Formula I are more soluble in water and various hydrophilic organic solvents, and generally demonstrate higher melting points in comparison to their free base forms. The selection of the appropriate salt will be known to one skilled in the art. Other non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts, e.g., oxalates, may be used, for example, in the isolation of compounds of Formula I for laboratory use, or for subsequent conversion to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt.

[0453] The term “pharmaceutically acceptable basic addition salt” as used herein means any non-toxic organic or inorganic base addition salt of any acid compounds disclosed herein. Illustrative inorganic bases which form suitable salts include lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, or barium hydroxide. Illustrative organic bases which form suitable salts include aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic organic amines such as methylamine, trimethylamine and picoline or ammonia. The selection of the appropriate salt will be known to a person skilled in the art.

[0454] In certain embodiments, the lipidoid compositions (e.g., nanoparticles) useful in the methods and compositions of this disclosure have at least one stereogenic center in their structure. This stereogenic center may be present in a R or a S configuration, said R and S notation is used in correspondence with the rules described in Pure Appl. Chem. (1976), 45, 11-30.

[0545] Representative procedure for synthesis of Series 100 and 300 Serine compounds Synthesis of compound 2:

[0546] To a solution of Compound 1 (10 g, 38.26 mmol, 1 eq.) in DMF (70 mL) was added K2CO3 (15.86 g, 114.80 mmol, 3 eq.) and CH3I (5.98 g, 42.10 mmol, 2.62 mL, 1.1 eq.). The mixture was stirred at 20°C for 2 hours. TLC (Petroleum ether: Ethyl acetate=3:l, Rf = 0.8) indicated Compound 1 was consumed completely and one new spot formed. The reaction mixture was partitioned between water (70 mL) and ethyl acetate (100 mL). Organic layer was washed with water (50 mL), brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4 to give Compound 2 (10.4 g, 37.77 mmol, 98.70% yield) as light yellow solid.

[0548] Synthesis of compound 4:

[0549] A mixture of Compound 2 (5 g, 18.16 mmol, 1 eq.) and Compound 3 (3.82 g, 36.32 mmol, 1.75 mL, 2 eq.) was degassed and purged with N2 for 3 times and then the mixture was heated to 80°C for 4 hours under N2 atmosphere. The Compound 2 was remained and then the mixture was heated to 100°C and stirred at 100°C for 2 hours.

[1042] 1.) To a solution of Compound G (350 mg, 488.21 pmol, 1 eq.) in DMF (2 mL) was added K2CO3 (337.38 mg, 2.44 mmol, 5 eq.), KI (162.08 mg, 976.41 pmol, 2 eq.) and dimethylamine (2 M, 7.32 mL, 30 eq.). The mixture was stirred at 70°C for 12 hours. TLC (DCM: MeOH=10:L Rf=0.45) indicated Compound 6 was consumed completely and new spots formed. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, DCM: MeOH=100:l to 30:1) to give a yellow oil (220 mg, 323.02 pmol, 66.16% yield). LCMS [M+l]+= 681.7

[1043] 2.) To a portion of this oil (200 mg, 293.65 pmol, 1 eq.) in DCM (0.25 mL) was added HCl / dioxane (0.25 mL) at 25°C. The reaction mixture was stirred at 25°C for 0.5 hour. The reaction mixture was lyophilized to give Compound 977a (200 mg, 278.73 pmol, 94.92% yield, HC1) as a yellow oil.

[1090] 1.) To a solution of Compound J (300 mg, 428.26 pmol, 1 eq.) in dioxane (1 mL) and toluene (1 mL) was added KI (78.20 mg, 471.08 pmol, 1.1 eq.), TEA (173.34 mg, 1.71 mmol, 238.43 pL, 4 eq.) and dimethylamine (2 M, 4.28 mL, 20 eq.). The mixture was stirred at 80°C for 6 hours. LCMS showed trace of Compound J remained and desired MS was detected. The reaction mixture was diluted with H2O (10 mL) and extracted with DCM (60 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (20 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue was purified by column chromatography (SiCL, Dichloromethane: Methanol= 200: 1 to 70: 1) to give a colorless oil (80 mg, 112.81 pmol, 26.34% yield, 100% purity).
