The application provides an imino boronic ester structure-based ionizable lipidoid and a preparation method and application thereof in treating mouse
choroidal neovascularization, has high mRNA delivery capacity, and is synthesized by a one-pot method of "Ax+By+Cz". The structure has dual sensitivity to slight acidity and ROS, and especially, the lipidoid lipidoid-A4B3C7 can be assembled into a complex with other lipid components and mRNA molecules, and has optimal mRNA
delivery efficiency. In addition, in a mouse
laser-induced
choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model, by single intravitreal injection, an LNP-A4B3C7 co-encapsulated Cas9 mRNA (mCas9) and sgRNA (sgVEGFA) complex targeting a VEGFA
gene (LNP-A4B3C7 / mCas9 / sgVEGFA complex) can successfully penetrate into the
retinal RPE layer, effectively knock out the VEGFA
gene in the RPE
cell and significantly reduce the area of the
neovascularization. The
treatment effect is equivalent to that of the commercial
fusion protein Aflibercept. These performances of the lipidoid make it have great development prospects in the field of biomedical materials, especially in the field of
gene delivery and gene editing.
