Lipid Nanoparticles With Fine‐Tuned Composition Show Enhanced Colon Targeting as a Platform for mRNA Therapeutics by Riccardo Rampado, Gonna Somu Naidu, Olga Karpov, Meir Goldsmith, Preeti Sharma, Assaf Ezra, Lior Stotsky, Dor Breier, Dan Peer

“…Compared to LNPs with benchmark composition (b‐LNPs), n‐LNPs containing 30% distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) are well tolerated following intravenous administration and display natural targeting toward the inflamed colon in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)‐colitis bearing mice, while de‐targeting clearing organs such as the liver and spleen. Using interleukin‐10‐encoding mRNA as therapeutic cargo, n‐LNPs demonstrated a reduction of pathological burden in colitis‐bearing mice. n‐LNPs represent a starting point to further investigate the influence of LNPs composition on systemic biodistribution, ultimately opening new therapeutic modalities in different pathologies.…”
