The invention discloses an
imidazole ionizable lipid and a preparation method and application of
metal coordination lipid nanoparticles of the
imidazole ionizable lipid. Specifically, 32 kinds of
imidazole ionizable lipids are designed and synthesized, and BR5-2 LNPs with the optimal mRNA
delivery performance is obtained through screening. On the basis of the coordination effect of imidazole and Zn, the
metal coordination lipid nanoparticles Zn-BR5-2 NAs are constructed. An XPS result proves that Zn and imidazole
nitrogen are coordinated. The nanoparticles have excellent performance in the aspects of
mRNA transfection efficiency, cellular uptake and
lysosome escape, and can significantly promote the
dendritic cell maturation and
antigen presentation capability. In-vivo experiments show that the Zn-BR5-2 NAs has a good
spleen targeting property. In a B16F10-OVA
melanoma model, the Zn-BR5-2 NAs loaded with OVA mRNA (
messenger Ribonucleic Acid) realizes a remarkable tumor prevention and
treatment effect. According to the mRNA vaccine based on Zn-BR5-2 NAs, the anti-tumor effect is remarkably improved by enhancing immune response, an effective strategy is provided for tumor
immunotherapy, and the mRNA vaccine based on Zn-BR5-2 NAs has wide application prospects.
