Lipid nanoparticles have gained clinical approval as carriers for both siRNA and mRNA. Among the crucial components of LNPs, ionizable lipids play a pivotal role in determining the efficiency of RNA delivery. In this study, we synthesized a series of ionizable lipids, denoted as HTO, with a higher count of hydroxyl groups compared to SM-102. Remarkably, LNPs based on HTO12 lipid demonstrated comparable mRNA delivery efficiency and biosafety to those based on SM-102. However, the former reduced the ratio of ionizable lipid to mRNA in LNPs by 2.5 times compared to SM-102. The HTO12 LNP efficiently encapsulated adenine base editor mRNA and sgRNA targeting Pcsk9, leading to substantial gene editing within the liver of mice and effective reduction of the target protein. Our study underscores that ionizable lipids with multiple hydroxyl groups may facilitate an improved lipid-to-mRNA ratio to minimize the dosage of ionizable lipids for in vivo delivery.
