Evaluating how cationic lipid affects mRNA-LNP physical properties and biodistribution
Eur J Pharm Biopharm. 2023 Aug 12:S0939-6411(23)00205-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.08.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRNA therapeutics represents a powerful strategy for diseases where other approaches have failed, especially given the recent successes of mRNA vaccines against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and small interfering (siRNA) therapeutics. However, further developments are still required to reduce toxicity, improve stability and biodistribution of mRNA-LNPs (lipid nanoparticles). Here, we show a rational combinatorial approach to select the best formulation based on a new cationic lipid molecule (IM21...

Use of Iontophoresis Technology for Transdermal Delivery of a Minimal mRNA Vaccine as a Potential Melanoma Therapeutic
Biol Pharm Bull. 2023;46(2):301-308. doi: 10.1248/bpb.b22-00746.ABSTRACTmRNA vaccines have attracted considerable attention as a result of the 2019 coronavirus pandemic; however, challenges remain regarding use of mRNA vaccines, including insufficient delivery owing to the high molecular weights and high negative charges associated with mRNA. These characteristics of mRNA vaccines impair intracellular uptake and subsequent protein translation. In the current study, we prepared a minimal mRNA vaccine encoding a tumor associated antigen human gp10025-33 peptide (KVPRNQDWL), as a potential treatment for melanoma. Minimal mRNA...

Chronic Administration of COVID-19 Drugs Fluvoxamine and Lopinavir Shortens Action Potential Duration by Inhibiting the Human Ether ‐à‐go‐go–Related Gene and Cav1.2
Conclusion: Chronic incubation with FLV and LPV produced more severe channel-blocking effects and contributed to altered channel gating and shortened action potential duration by inhibiting hERG and Cav1.2.

Development of Lipid Nanoparticles for the Delivery of Macromolecules Based on the Molecular Design of pH-Sensitive Cationic Lipids
Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2021;69(12):1141-1159. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c21-00705.ABSTRACTConsiderable efforts have been made on the development of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for delivering of nucleic acids in LNP-based medicines, including a first-ever short interfering RNA (siRNA) medicine, Onpattro, and the mRNA vaccines against the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which have been approved and are currently in use worldwide. The successful rational design of ionizable cationic lipids was a major breakthrough that dramatically increased delivery efficiency in this field. The LNPs would be expected to be useful as a platform...
